Wholelottashakin @ The Spa 8 17 12 [02:10]
Joel broke beautifully, had her in good position all the way around the track, made "the move" just right and I thought we had it. Low and behold the inside horse comes outside and kicks by at the last second. This race will do her good and get her ready for her next start. She is now back running and running well, so let's see if we can keep the momentum going! I saw the head on replay and it looked like she was very relaxed and doing everything right. This filly is very professional and will certainly get this condition and move up from here. Close but no cigar! That's OK, we've got a nice turf filly!

RTD 2nd in 9th @ The Spa 7 30 12 [01:47]
RTD ran like he was shot out of a cannon to hold on for 2nd in the 9th race today at The Spa! He broke sharp as he always does, took the overland route about 4 wide around the track and opened up a 3 length lead at the top of the stretch. Unfortunately the 6 horse - taking advantage of the front end speed (21,44,56) - closed to get the win.

RTD WINS 3rd on 6.3.12.avi [09:24]
Ready To Defer WON the 3rd race on Sunday, June 3rd at Beautiful Belmont Park. He broke sharp from the 4 hole with Ramon Dominguez and never looked back! Ramon never moved his hands through fractions of 22, 45, 56! As the race progressed the margin steadily widened. At the top of the stretch he opened up an 8 length lead then in the words of the chart caller: "....Increased the lead from upper to mid-stretch, under a mild hand ride, got geared down at the 16th pole, allowed to complete the contest handily"... I think that about sums it up! He finished in 109 and 2! Sundays so far have been very good luck for PGR!! Congratulations to all! This is one awesome horse! Nice way to celebrate another weekend

Wholelottashakin ROCKS the 9th race on May 27th @ Belmont [08:03]
Wholelottashakin WON the 9th race on Sunday, May 27th at Beautiful Belmont Park. She broke sharp from the 5 hole with Javier, he put her in good position until about the 5/8ths pole where she almost ran up the leader's you know what... Javier had to jerk her head to get her to the outside - any other horse would have packed it in right there but she continued in stride. Javier saved ground behind the leaders, the favorite went wide and he went for the hole on the rail and the rest my friends, as they say, is history. She flew down the stretch and held off a repeated challenge from the fancy 4yo and prevailed under strong urging. She loves a little give in the ground and I think she likes the mile distance. Congratulations to all ~ certainly a nice way to celebrate the Holiday weekend!
