Pressure

The pressure is on to replicate last years results. Of the 20 horses I “selected” from the big Ocala sale, several have been quite successful:

1. Get Her Number – Dialed In – fast closing 4th in the Arkansas Derby -$47,000
2. Dream Shake – Twirling Candy – could still run in the Derby – $75,000
3. Brooklyn Strong – Wicked Strong – winner of the G2 Remsen – $5,000
4. Shea D Summer – Summer Front – small stakes winner in Florida – $35,000
5. Whatmakessammyrun – We Miss Artie – MSW winner at Belmont – $30,000
6. Jeebar – Frosted – MSW winner at Gulfstream – $65,000
7. Risky Reward -Mshawish – MSW winner at Churchill – $30,000
8. Bode’s Tipsy – Bodemeister – MSW winner at Woodbine – $20,000
9. Tap Dance Fever – MSW winner at Tampa – $17,000
10. Cane Creek Road – Bayern – MC winner at FG – $100,000

Add to these the results, Quick Tempo who was a $75,000 Ocala purchase, who won the Sugar Bowl Stakes at FG, and was on the Derby trail for 12 hours before getting hurt.

Given these strong results, maybe I should forget about yearlings.
