Yeah, I wanted to use him today but just couldn’t, in fact I passed the race completely. Nice win though, if he develops more, he might be up to those CA bred turf stakes next year.BaroqueAgain1 wrote:'Chrome's little brother Faversham just took the 5th at Santa Anita in fine fashion, with a very good kick to pass the leaders and pull away to win by open lengths.

23-1 at post timestark wrote:Santa Anita 5th today
Flaversham 12/1
After 5 tries with Stuart Elliot aboard, Tiago Periera takes over the reins today.
Back to the turf today after just one failed attempt two back.
Takes off the blinkers that didn't work the last 3 times.
Back in with Cal-Breds today.
Trainer is currently on a 2/40 streak.
Been working well at LosAlamitos, maybe he should wait a week for that meet?
If he drifts up to 20-1 or so, worth a small play just because of the changes?
Like you, I wanted 20-1 or better. He showed as 17-1 on the feed, I was watching as they were loading. I guess that could have been deemed close enough but I can be a bit stubborn.stark wrote:23-1 at post timestark wrote:Santa Anita 5th today

17-1 when the gates opened.
I'll take it, thank you very much!
We were touristing at Santa Anita for an hour or so this afternoon, and were at the paddock where my friend took this quick snap when we overheard he was in that race, Stayed for the race, but didn't bet ... darn it all.BaroqueAgain1 wrote:'Chrome's little brother Faversham just took the 5th at Santa Anita in fine fashion, with a very good kick to pass the leaders and pull away to win by open lengths.

"It's been kind of quiet since Chrome left," Sherman said. "I still miss him."
June 21 brought relief for the octogenarian who conditioned two-time Horse of the Year California Chrome through a once-in-a-lifetime career from 2013-2017, as the Lucky Pulpit runner's full brother, Faversham, finally found his sweet spot at Santa Anita Park.
In his fifth start for Sherman, Perry and Denise Martin's sophomore runner got the monkey off his back in a $59,000 maiden special weight for California-breds, when he rallied to a 3 1/4-length victory going a mile on the Santa Anita lawn. Faversham was sent off Thursday at odds of 17-1, but there were times in the chestnut ridgling's career when Sherman would have made the odds even longer for him to ever find the winner's circle.
"You don't know what I went through with this horse," the trainer said. "After being around his brother (and) training his brother, it's hard to compare them. Attitude, build—there's no real comparison. He's not a real good eater. I have to baby him along, feeding him this and that. ... With Chrome you could do anything."

Nice, determined win for Faversham. Watched the video replay a couple of times and don't know if it's the turf course at Santa Anita or what, but Fav's stride seemed a little choppy until late when he really turned it on. Art says Fav is not a great eater, and I think you can see it in his build. He's a bit light bodied and not as muscled as I remember Chrome being at 3. But considering the bad luck he's had and loss of confidence that Art described, Fav showed some promise today.Sparrow Castle wrote:California Chrome's Brother Faversham Breaks MaidenMore: https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing ... aks-maidenPut in a call to trainer Art Sherman and you still hear the longing, although more than a year has passed.

More: http://www.drf.com/news/faversham-consi ... nable=trueFaversham, a full brother to popular two-time Horse of the Year California Chrome, won for the first time in his career in a maiden race for California-breds on turf Thursday at Santa Anita.
The win left trainer Art Sherman tentatively planning a start in the $100,000 Oceanside Stakes for 3-year-olds on turf July 18 at Del Mar.

3 Deep Impact newcomers this Saturday @LongBallToNoOne All 3 running in the same race at Tokyo.
So the first one is called MI DIOSA (Deep Impact x Mi Sueno), this is a 2 year-old half sister to Group winner Mi Suerte (Frankel). Words have been very good about her.

I see that DRF's Entries for Friday at Los Al shows Dark Prince in the 3rd race, a 5-furlong MSW for two-year-olds.You looked at race 3 for Quarter Horses not Thoroughbreds.Squeaky wrote:I did not see his name in entries there. Race 3 a cheap claiming race for fillies and mares.
I thought he only had one previous attempt with that gate incident. He already broke his maiden last year.Squeaky wrote:St Patrick’s Day, full brother to American Pharaoh, trying again in a race at the Curraugh in Ireland on Sat. at 3:25 pm EST. Third time the charm?
