We got lucky and won our first race of the year last night at Charles Town Race Track in West Virginia. This is the third horse we have ever run there and our first winner. PRIZE WINNER is a homebred and with this win took her career earnings over $200,000.
We went from somewhere in the high 1200’s in the trainers standing to 316. Last year we finished the year in the trainers standings at 121 after getting as high as 103.
Oaklawn Park canceled the races for Saturday and Sunday due to excessive rain there and the poor track condition due to a sink hole that popped out right at the 7 1/2 pole over the tunnel.
It has rained in Kentucky for the past three days. If the temperature had been colder here, we would now be up to our eyeballs in snow!
Take the quiz below and we’ll reveal how our votes matched up with the actual winners in a ballot to come!
