Review Timonium

Let’s review what we bought at Timonium:

The results here are not as good.

2 second in MSW, 2 working, 4 named not working, and 1 unnamed. The Twirling Candy’s are taking time to get to the races.

  1. Blame – c – Little Sandy by Speightstown – 3/29 – sf 97 – 2w – 10.2 – $100,000 – named Blame it on Brutas, not working
  2. Orb – f – -Grassy Nellie by Belong to Me – 2/28 – sf 96 – 3w – 10.1 – $50,000, – named Rev Rita, working at Del Mar
  3. Bodemeister – Seemingly by Orientate – 5/31 -sf 95 – 2w – 10.2 – $20,000 – Named Dennard, not working

I will add 3 horses from the final day of the sale to help monitor 3 sires I want to learn more about. The first horse is my favorite from either of the two sales at any price. Over 20 years ago Chuck Zacney picked Afleet Alex out of this sale for $75,000. Today he picked this Twirling Candy for $175,000. I love the pedigree on the female side, and I am warming up to Twirling Candy. Sold for less than 5x despite a fast work and a late birthday

  1. Twirling Candy – f – Who’s Cozy by Cozzene – 5/17 – sf 99 – 2w – 10.1 – $175,000 –unnamed
  2. Exaggerator – f – Flash of Wonder by Tiz Wonderful – 4/28 – sf 80 – 10.2 – $80,000 – named Color of Dawn, 2nd in MSW at Churchill, winner MSW Keeneland, Cox
  3. Noble Mission – f – Colour Party (IRE) by Invincible Spirit – 2/18 – 10.2 – $40,000 – Named Jokers Run, 2nd MSW Woodbine, de Paulo

With the 20 from Ocala, that brings the imaginary stable to 26 horses, plus the one claimer. The Ocala sale is in 3 weeks. There is no rest for the wicked.

  1. #1008 from Ocala – Twirling Candy – Even Song by Street Cry – $75,000 – bought by the smart guys at Exline Racing – named Dream Shake, working at SA
  2. #105 from Timonium – Twirling Candy – Margarita Friday by Johannesburg – $100,000 – bought by Liz Crow the agent for Ten Strike among others – named Lambeau Lady, working at Laurel, winner MSW at Laurel
  3. #64 from Timonium – Twirling Candy – Kiamika by With Approval – $85,000 – bought by Mark Glatt as agent for ????, this is my favorite – named Just About Enough, not working

I was a professional investor for over 30 years. Now I spend my time trying to pick horses rather than stocks.
