Gorgeous Package

The little filly looked strong tonight, navigated traffic to get up for third at 50-1 in 152 flat. Trifecta paid $133.70 with the two favorites on top. I hope she stays in the same class next week, I think she'll still be at nice odds and can pull off a win with a good trip.

Edit: It must be bet Billy Davis Jr night at Mohawk, another show at 39-1.

I'm not a Billy Davis, Jr. fan.ย  He hasn't driven our horses well.

But I'm glad he did well for you.

I'm not a fan either and pretty much for the same reason.

Last week he gave Alure a terrible drive and is back on her again tonight. But here's the thing, a couple of weeks ago I sent Anthony a email about her, she's eligible for three races coming up later this month at Hoosier Park each one is going for $50,000. Anthony's response all in one reply was first it would be highly unlikely she would race in Indiana, then it was she's a nice filly but not a stakes horse then he'd re-evaluate after she races. So her future may be in Billy's hands tonight since Anthony is already talking about bringing her back to the US. I'm not saying she can win those races but I went back and looked at the results from last years Star Destroyer and it was split into two divisions one went in 1:54.4 and the other 1:55.1, Alure won a few weeks ago at Mohawk in 1:54.1. Even if Billy wins with her tonight doesn't mean she'll end up in Indiana but where else can you race for that kind of money this time of year.

 

I believe it was Manhattan Moni that Billy Davis Jr. drove twice for us.ย  I was quite surprised they named him again the second time.

Same thing with Daniel Dube when he drove I'm Fancy Like for us twice at Yonkers Raceway.ย  Horrific, indecisive drives that got her parked the mile twice.

I will be watching Alure again tonight with a close eye.ย  I'm still very interested in purchasing a share, as Anthony said, there's a chance she could eventually end up at Yonkers Raceway.ย  But I need to see more tonight.

It's time to get Gorgeous Package out of Mohawk, she just doesn't fit. They're literally making up conditions to stick her in anywhere. Since she went to Ontario she's gone off at 48-1, 50-1 and 28-1, she finshed tenth last week and they move her up in class, This week with allowances she's racing with a $140,000 claiming tag, makes no sense.

Oof, what a rough patch.ย  Hopefully, she will come home soon.
