Don Juan Kitten on Fair circuit

[brunanas]

I dug around this morning looking for any live streams of White Pine (the fair has existed for 88 years apparently) but I haven't found anything.

i don't think even replays exist either. all i could find was their FB page.

There’s a site, racewithtrs.com, that has links to tracks of that ilk. Most are a step or half-step above the bushes. It varies what you can find from track to track. Those meets are usually just a few days. There are many instances in which a horse will run opening day as a prep for a stake on closing day and they’ll have just a day or two in between. These horses usually get the winter off.

Weston did run today and won in a 3-horse field.

he's still entered today. may be scratched later but we're just 3 hours away from the race.

1 hour away and still entered guess he is racing again.

how strict is the vetting there though? like are they sure the horse is ok to race?

How strict is it anywhere?

Since everyone is waiting for the results, here they are.

Weston did run back and won the race by nearly 5 lengths at nearly 5-1. Don Juan Kitten ran second at .20 on the dollar. Well clear of the third horse.

Exacta between the two best horses was $20.

Don Juan Kitten chart comment: chased 2P, outfinished.

Yep, way too much horse for that circuit.

Prater Sixty Four, who was coming back from a 5 year layoff, finished dead last

Don Juan Kitten won a 5.5 furlongs allowance at "Elko Fair" on September 4.

Field of four, surface was dirt. Purse of $5K.

Found him on Facebook.

That was a day after he finished 4th in a mixed allowance that was 770yds, probably too short for him.

Meanwhile Weston won a 3-horse 950yd stakes (non black type, listed as a "mixed" race but all runners were TB) at Black Foot last weekend. $4750 purse. Making more than they would finishing up the track in California, I suppose. Unfortunately one of the entries in that race, the 9yo Carson's Fireball, is listed as "did not finish". He raced 5 times in the span of 2 weeks back in July. Would like to know what happened.

5 days later and another easy "stakes" win for Weston at Black Foot. It's a living.

Don Juan Kitten is entered in an allowance race Tuesday, Oct. 4 at Arapahoe Park in Colorado for a $25,000 purse.

Would love to see the race, not sure if their signal or replays are available.

[Mylute]

Apparently Arapahoe streams via RTN.

[Miss Woodford]

Yeah Arapahoe is a step up from the podunk tracks. It'll be interesting to see how his form stacks up against the horses on this circuit.

[Mylute]

Don Juan Kitten was a vet scratch for yesterday's Arapahoe allowance. Last thing posted to Facebook was a headshot of him the day before the race.

Glad to see he was scratched, let's see if he is entered back.

Interesting that one of DJK's rivals from a couple years ago, Bye Bye Melvin, finished second Saturday behind War Like Goddess. They traded nose decisions a couple of years ago at Saratoga and Pimlico.

[Mylute]

Don Juan Kitten is entered tomorrow at Turf Paradise - an AOC, 5.5 furlongs.

He is 8/1 and will be facing MSW Minister of Soul. DJK has a different owner (Moises Rodriguez) and a new trainer (Jeff Allred).

I find it interesting that DJK is still an entire.

[racefan]

5:45 eastern time post. No stream available for Turf Paradise web site, you'd need RTN.

Think the replays are available on their site next day.
