We have had a busy week running mostly at Hoosier Park, but also Presque Isle and Ellis Park. We had two winners both at Hoosier Park and both homebreds. ELLENBERGER PARK is a two year old colt owned and bred by Lauer and Ralph Piercy and MS. RED HAWK  is a three year old filly owned and bred by Lauer. The purses have gone up in Indiana. Total gross purses for the two races was $66,000 for a maiden and a non three life.

We did get over $700,000 in total gross purses for 2010, so we are getting closer to the goal, but still a long way off. As I said before, it would be a good time to get a horse to run in Indiana as the purses are up.

In ten days the yearling sales start here, which is always a good place to get a horse. We also have a number of Indiana Bred yearlings we would love to partner up on. We have some very easy to get in packages. Give me a call and we can discuss it.

We set a goal at the beginning of this year to win 30 races and a million $$ in purse money (as we have never won a million). We are at $640,700 and counting. The stable so far has had 26 wins, 27 seconds, 26 thirds and 30 fourths. The purse increases in Indiana (which are 2 1/2 times what they were two years ago) have helped.

Of course ROCKIN' ROCKSTAR winning the $100,000 Tom Ridge Stakes in May definitely helped. We have only won one 2 yr. old race so far, but DREAMIN BIG (who is a home bred) did break the track record at Hoosier and now holds that title with 57.1 going 5 Furlongs.

 A few more horses and a little luck, we will reach the goal!!
