The good thing about having options is you can use them. Cyber Ninja ran evenly in the two-other-than at Kentucky Downs, further confirming his lack of interest on the flat. We’ve kicked around adding blinkers, changing some things but watching him yesterday, he looks like a horse who has had enough of flat racing. Just going through the motions. Back to jump racing.
The good news is I almost flew to Nashville, a down-and-back day trip.
We run Pietrelcina at Colonial Downs tomorrow. A 5-year-old maiden who is running out of viable options, we’ll see where his career goes from here.
Looking further ahead, we might run Welshman in the Grade 1 Lonesome Glory at Aqueduct Sept. 18 and could have five heading to Shawan Downs Sept. 27.
The European squad of Sherminator and Imarajan are getting back into gear and should provide plenty of fun this winter.
Beyond those, it’s time to get shopping for next year. Heading to Keeneland next week. The same sale where we found Grade 3 stakes winner Eons, Grade 2 stakes winner Luna Fortis and stakes winner Gotham Gala. Interested in a yearling syndicate? Let’s go. Saratoga 2026 is coming soon.
