Just left the farm and Moonless Sky is looking great. I was really impressed. I think this rest will prove to be great for her. A couple more months off and then back into training is the plan.
Month: November 2018
Race Entry
Sauce on Side is officially entered in Saturday’s 6th race at Del Mar. Joel Rosario picks up the mount from post 1.
Race Not Used
Saturday’s race at Del Mar for Tavasco Road was not used by the racing office due to insufficient entries. They will use it as an extra for Sunday. We’ll see whether it goes for Sunday mid day tomorrow.
ZESTFUL LOTTERY1130
Zestful is an also eligible for Friday’s 6th race meaning that he needs one of the other 11 entered to scratch by early Friday morning to draw into the race.
With a horse on the also eligible list we may have to wait until Friday morning until we have a definitive answer on whether we end up running or not. At this point we will proceed with our normal process of a lottery and provide updates on race status up to Friday mornings scratch deadline.
Lottery will be drawn Thursday evening.
Lottery winners will receive a pass to join O’Neill and Prat in the paddock ring prior to the race. All entrants will receive a Winner’s Circle Badge.

Time was faster than what we wanted from him, but Swiss’ did it rather easily which speaks to his athleticism and talent level. We are very pleased with his progress at his time.
Scheduled to breeze a 1/2 mile next week.
