Perfect Thought
Quote from pcmark15 on July 26, 2025, 2:25 AMAs excited as I am about Perfect Thought's future I can't forget to mention how excited I am for Miss Fancy Nancy also. I had mentioned her in a post a few moths ago and since then she has been on fire. Going into tonight's race she's won four of her last five and with a second in a leg of the Indiana Sires Stakes last week, her first start in the ISS. She's Kentucky eligible and I may be getting ahead of myself here but she's also eligible for the Jugette. If I hold on to my share of Perfect Thought this could be could make for a great summer of racing.

Quote from pcmark15 on August 1, 2025, 2:10 PMIt's going to be interesting to see how Scott races this filly tonight, will they be the hunters or. the hunted? It's still only her third start, is tonight the night Scott turns her loose. I'm not fond of horses that get the week off before big races, especially two year olds and there's four of them in this race. Sometimes that works sometimes it doesn't, if I was driving her I'd put her on the front end and play catch me if you can.

Just a little bit to post time. Â Leave then release Dunn who looked pretty invincible 2 weeks ago. Â If PT is good enough, then reel Dunn in at the wire. Â If not, 25% of 180 k is a pretty nice nightâs work. Â Then again, these are 2 year old fillies. Â There are no guarantees for anyone. Â But we are rooting hard for Perfect Thought.

She had her hands full tonight and raced well, but I would have liked to have seen her finish up a little better. But she raced great, and this was still only her third lifetime start.
I haven't really looked at what's coming up for her in the next couple of weeks but I'd expect a week off in there somewhere then get her ready for the NJ Classic. I think after that will depend how well she's performing. I'd love to see her in the She's a Great Lady, I'd even try to make the trip to Mohawk. I should probably check my passport, it may be expired.

Quote from pcmark15 on August 16, 2025, 2:08 PMNo Perfect Thought this week but Miss Fancy Nancy is in tonight. Every time I see her in the Indiana Sires Stakes I can't help wonder why The Stable isn't chasing some of that money. All 2 year olds going 6 legs at almost $135,000 and $250,000 finals, 3 year olds going 8 legs at $95,000 plus $250,00 final. Last year the 2 year olds legs only averaged 2.3 divisions unlike the 5 divisions we typically see here in Ohio, 3 year olds averaged 1.8 divisions per leg. Tonight Missy is in a 5 horse field going for $48,000 while the other division has 6 starters. I know Indiana doesn't have the high profile sires other states do but they still have some very competitive racing. From a client stand point I wonder how much interest would be drawn from people in Michigan and Illinois to have horses racing much closer to home for big money.Â
Good Luck to everyone that has horses in today.

Agree 100% Mark, I usually buy at least one share of a Indiana horse. They race for nice money, the Stable hasn't fared so well there. Love Hoosier Park, and my drive is just over three hours from Michigan.Â
