We had a 1st time win yesterday for owner JOHN STOGSDILL with his filly EMILY’S SUNDANCE. That takes the stable to 46 wins and over $1.3 million in purse money for 2013. Still working on getting to 50 wins this year.
Only two weeks left to get tax benefits on yearling purchases.
My beloved Buckeye’s took it on the chin last night (or got outplayed). And then my sister told me a kid from my hometown of Hamilton Ohio plays for Michigan State and is a linebacker and made a big play on Miller. Added a little salt in the wound.
From Turfway Park’s recap of her race, found here:
“A multiple stakes winner, Dreamin Big is a 5-year-old daughter of Pure Prize out of the Roar mare Hush U Dreamer. She was bred in Indiana by Mike and Penny Lauer and has been trained by Mike Lauer throughout her career. Dreamin Big’s record stands now at 10-10-2 from 26 starts for earnings of $522,024, an impressive per-start average of $20,078.”
What a great way to kick off the snowy racing season!
The Indiana Downs meet has come to a close for 2013, with the stable earning over one million in purse money and garnishing 29 wins.
On Saturday we won a maiden claiming $30,000 for a $24,000 purse. The same race at Keeneland this week has a purse of $19,000, five thousand less than Indiana.
Maiden Special races at Hot Springs this winter will be $55,000. We need to stock the barn.
For those of you that don’t live in the Louisville area, we have had anywhere from 5-7 iches of rain in the last 24 hour period. Breaking all previous records. Hope to see some sun tomorrow.
