Xela - What a Race!

6 Furlongs 3 Year Olds And Up Allowance Purse: $41,790

Times in 100ths: :22.28 :45.47 :57.37 1:09.70

In tight traffic at the head of the stretch, about four lengths back, Xela exploded when asked, and had to angle sharply in to get around a horse, then straighten out and bear down on the leaders. One of those leaders was Liberty Bull, winner of $403,592 lifetime including the $600K WinStar Derby and the Smarty Jones handicap.

Xela was second in the photo by a head bob, just a head bob, bringing his 2008 earnings to over $85,000.

We're telling him he won.


What a race horse.

Work outs today

Xela, a half in 47, in hand, no stick, no company, easy as pie.

And we got

Crawford County, five-eighths in 59.4, out in 1:12.1 . She wanted more.

Cohen and Fire Chief went together, in hand, a half in a nice 48.4.

Two year old Jacqueline continues to please us. She's training well. And we like what Nuclear Meltdown is showing us.

We've got some video we hope to share with you soon.
