Ma Petite Penne Looks to Keep Rolling in Sand Springs
Before I begin looking at this race, I just have to say that Michael LaRosa is in my thoughts and prayers. I didn’t know him, but I do know he was a great person and a pillar of the HRP community. I know that he want this to go on, and I am privileged to be a part of the SRF team that will ensure that his idea from 2005 will live on for as long as our virtual game will.

Sinamaulu Punches His KYD Ticket with Ruby Stakes Win
Coming into the Ruby Stakes, Arindel already boasted one of the horses that many feel is a top KYD contender, but with his barn being as powerful as it is, just one entry into the race will not be enough. Now, he will have at least two entries into the race as Sinamaulu captured the Ruby Stakes, earning the 100 points and showing that he is yet another great horse produced by Hanamaulu.

Terra Command Storms Home in Desert Stormer
There was much to like about the horses that made up the field in the Grade 3 Desert Stormer at SA. They were plenty accomplished over their careers, making you feel that if they were to all run against one another, that it should be for at least double the $100.000 purse that the race offered.

Great Field Lined Up for Desert Stormer
Don’t tell this field of nine that they are only racing for $100.000, because they probably think they are running for at least twice that. The Desert Stormer came up strong, so this is certainly going to be an entertaining race on Saturday out at SA. It sends older females six furlongs on the main track, and runs for the twelfth time.

Z Baby Blue Catches Elijah G Just in Time to Win Silks Run
Last month, Z Baby Blue took part in a similar race to the Silks Run, the $100.000 Turf Dash over at TAM, which would be his third win in four starts. In a mostly full field, he seemed to be a good contender, but others may have had a little more name recognition.

Outside Trip Doesn’t Spoil Matamata’s Day in The Azeri
Smokey Stover was not messing around when it came to entering horses for The Azeri. All three of his horses seemed to have a great chance to win the race, including the legendary Z Command and the ultimate post time favorite, Third Gear. His third entry, Matamata, had just as much potential and came into the race on a stretch of three victories in four starts.
