The stable earnings just about reached the $1,150,000 mark last night with our 42nd win of the year. ROCKIN’ ROCKSTAR won the 6 furlong race with a $60,000 purse for a 4 other than or $80,000 claiming. We ran for the $80,000 as we were not eligible for 4 other than.

If you’ve ever heard of a horse for the course, ROCKIN’ ROCKSTAR is one of them as he has won 6 out of 9 starts at Presque Isle making this his 4th win of the year. The worst part is, the track is closing October 1st for the season. RR is the stable’s leading earner this year being right at $150,000 in earnings and 4 wins. It is kind of amazing how much better he runs on this surface. This is a Tapeta track put in by the former trainer Michael Dickinson , which is the best synthetic track I have run over. A big congratulations to owners Jack Danehy, Ralph Piercy, Terry Ward, Barry Ward, Ken Agronin, Steve Yamaguchi and Mary Ann Barth. This was the stable’s 8th win of 18 starts for the summer at Presque Isle, Erie, PA.

The Keeneland Yearling Sale is winding downs and in the last two days. The good news is, it is up well over 10% from last year and the bad news is yesterday the stock market had a gigantic drop. Go figure!  Do your part to support the game, buy one and bet on a few. The game is definitely not dead!
