Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

I simply cannot believe nobody has a thread following Ghostzapper babies.

Iliad and McCraken gave their sire a great weekend with Iliad winning the San Vincente on the west coast and McCraken winning the Sam S Davis on the east coast. Iliad is now 2 for 3 and McCraken is 4 for 4. Iliad is tentatively pointing towards the San Felipe and Santa Anita Derby while McCraken is likely to stay in Florida and aim for the Tampa Bay Derby.

Goodzapper (3yo gelding out of Glinda the Good) is entered for his debut today at Gulfstream Park in Race 6 (6f MSW). I really liked Glinda The Good when she was racing and am very interested to see how Hard Spun (another personal favorite) does as a broodmare sire. Good luck and safe return!

Goodzapper finished 6th, beaten 19 lengths. Chart says he was blocked right after the start when another horse bobbled and blocked his path. Hopefully next time he gets a clean trip.

McCraken will miss the Tampa Bay Derby with a strained ankle. His connections are hopeful that he can still make to Keeneland for the Bluegrass.
