Southern Ocean, a three-year-old gelding went wire to wire last Thursday to win the third race on the grass going a mile for $50,000 claiming. This is his 3rd win out of five starts (3-1-1) since we bought him for $9000 in the Keeneland January Racing of all Ages Sale. I was surprised he paid $16.40 as the program had him 7/2 and the Courier Journal picked him to win. Another example of a useful horse that was purchased from the sales for a modest price.

The stable had a good weekend as we won three races.

On the not so good side, we stood in the paddock at Indiana Downs on Saturday night for an hour waiting for lightening and rain to pass and then they canceled. I left the track and drove ten miles down the road toward home and not a drop had fallen.
