Guest Blogger - Week #4 Review and Broodmare Horse B With You

In honor of Kikisoblu's win in the Hastings Handicap and her Washington-Bred dam, Horse B With You, we have a guest blogger this week who made a long distance call to request to write this post. I didn't mind the time off from blogging, but am not responsible for the content of the post below:

Believe not that Washington-Breds won 13 of 25 races last weekend? That is why you fail.

Powerful you have become Washington-Breds, 91 out of 154 starters you had last weekend.

No two-year-old races yet? Patience you must have my young padawan.

When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back. (Blog Owner Note: Now he is just going off on tangents.) 

Kikisoblu you say? By Kodiak Kowboy out of the Slewdledo mare Horse B With You. Horse B With You graded stakes placed and used force to win Scottsdale Handicap at Turf Paradise, far from Dagobah system.

Purchased by Cappelletti, Bob for Todaro, George, I say. Cappelletti said "buy or do not buy. There is no try." Good purchase, happens to every guy sometimes this does.

Kikisoblu ridden by Rocco Bowen. You say size? Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. (Blog Own Note: Gotta agree with him on this one).

Charts you ask for? Charts lead to fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger lead to hate. Hate leads to suffering. (Blog Owner Note: Dude, they are just charts).

Week 3 Emerald Downs Recap

Week 3 Recap of Emerald Downs

A few notes from Derby weekend at Emerald Downs:

*First, this is how awesome your new President of Emerald Racing, Phil Ziegler, is:

How many Presidents do you see doing this, especially on Kentucky Derby Day? Shows true dedication and I thought it was pretty cool. Type of person you would want to work for. I heard that Mr. Crockett was doing the same thing. Excellent. I was tempted to go up and request "$2 on one of everything" and see what happened. But I thought better of it. 

You know, you could help them out by using Betemerald.com on Ipad, etc. I know I am writing to crowd of people who think the Commodore 64 is new technology, but Betemerald is pretty awesome.  

*First, I picked American Pharoah to win. He was the favorite so I don’t take too much pride in this pick but he was clearly the superior horse going in. It is only irritating that his name is speledd rong. Firing Line did much better than I expected. Upstart ran very poorly. With respect to longshots, I was somewhat correct about Danzig Moon (5^th), but very wrong about Tencendur. Do yourself a favor and go back and look at Materiality and the trip that he had. For a horse making his fourth lifetime start, he handled a ton of trouble and dirt in his face and still closed, which most horses were not allowed to do. I expect Materiality to be very tough in the Belmont.

You could almost see Martin Garcia thinking "I wish I was on this horse." 

*12 of the 25 races were won by Washington-Breds.

*Washington-Breds accounted for 89 of the 157 starters (57%) last weekend.

*This 123Racing thing is getting fun and the pools look like they are growing so continue to keep an eye on it.

*The charts for the races (W=Wa-bred):
