Idiots. It is amazing how people who can acquire (inherit?) huge amounts of money for these expensive animals are not bright enough to come up with a good name for a horse. The jockey club doesn't require the horse is named after the stallion or mare either. Just pick ANYTHING good.

ChampionCurlin wrote:Deputy Striker, full brother to Curlin, showed up on the worktab today at Los Alamitos going 4f in 50.4 on dirt. He hasn't raced in a year and has only had two or three workouts since then. His 3 races were all on synthetic.

Just noticed this since I hadn't checked that VS email acct. in a few days. I followed this horse a couple of years ago when he started out. He had a hind end injury I think that kept him away all this time. He's 0-3 currently and has never hit the board, so he's not another Curlin, but curious to see how he comes back off the shelf. I know the connections had planned to retire him at one point, so good to see he recovered enough to try again.

I hope if he does come back that they put him on dirt. I'm surprised they did three in a row on poly.

Well, he was stabled at Hollywood Park previously (since he was, or maybe still is, in Koriner's stable) and that had the synth most akin to dirt... he didn't show much in those 3 starts though. Flashed a bit of speed and then faded in all 3. Somehow I doubt he'd be ready for DMR anyway, but who knows... maybe he gets to try the SA (or Los Al) dirt next.

Coronation S (G1) winner Rizeena (Iffraaj-Serena's Storm) runs in the Falmouth S (G1) at Newmarket tomorrow. Should be a good race as last year's Coronation S (and 1,000 Guineas) winner Sky Lantern is also entered.

From Mike Welsch: Atreides (6-5), Dreaming of Julia's baby brother, delivers as advertised, rallies to impressive debut win, completed six furlongs in 1:08.65!

Dune fans....Does his name come from the name of Paul Atreides, of the House Atreides?

Ma Belle Amore (Distorted Humor x Unbridled Belle) won the Group 2 Kuban River Stakes today at Krasnodar in Russia. *Name is spelled Ma Belle Amour in RUS. Marussia, whose dam is 1/2 to G1W Mass Media, was 2nd and Lady Curlin, a Curlin filly from the family of Ghostapper, City Zip, etc, was 3rd.

She isn't a sibling or offspring, but Delaware H(G1) winner Belle Gallantey is a descendant of CH 2yo filly Meadow Star.

Hahahahaha... there was a 28-way shake today for Revealing Moment who won the 4th at Belmont. She's a full sister to yesterday's Delaware Handicap winner, Belle Gallantey.

La Quintessa (UBS x Madcap Escapade) makes her 2nd start on Friday in R5 at Ellis. She is now with Al Stall, having made 1 start at Del Mar last year for Bob Baffert.

Wow- wonder if that is some kind of record?

There are 28 different trainers at Belmont? Who knew?
