Emerald Club

Diamonds Dena never made a significant bid Friday and completed fourth inside fifth battle for $10, 000 claiming fillies and mares. And she wasn't claimed.

It was Dena’s second right lackluster work now, with the season closing Sunday, we should discover a buyer for our 5-year-old mare. As you know, the Emerald Racing Club Membership contract calls for our ponies to be offered by the end of the period, utilizing the sale money put into the ERC purse account. After we have your final total, we then can divide by 200 and allow every person understand how most of their particular $500 they reunite, or roll over to 2017, etc.

One prospective customer surfaced immediately after Dena’s competition Friday, and hopefully an offer is made this weekend. The purchase price appeared reasonable, given Dena’s back to back sub par excursions. Keep tuned in.

In terms of Archie Graham, our company is exploring options to make it easy for our favorite grey gelding to go back to your Emerald Racing Club the following year. He would need to be sold after which purchased back when the 2017 Emerald Racing Club begins again very early the following year.

In countless means Archie been a fantastic horse for our club–extremely sound, friendly and accommodating to visitors, in which he has many rushing talent also. It also would spare the yearly frantic seek out a horse and invite ERC users to go to Archie at barn in February and March, to see just how a veteran horse prepares for racing off a layoff.

A number of you already have approached myself about finding a means for all of us to keep Archie Graham. Let us know everything believe!

Time for my small editorial on Archie Graham:

Archie has actually done steadily all period for Emerald Racing Club. He’s a professional racehorse, providing us every thing he previously in seven starts while maintaining fitness and passion throughout. I know Larry and Sharon Ross have cultivated quite partial to Archie, ditto for regular driver Leslie Mawing, and me too.

What’s much more, Archie Graham has been a delight in the barn, kind and affectionate along with his numerous site visitors and fans, and enthusiastic in his education. Simply speaking, he’s been a lot of fun.

Approach to take, Archie!

Gosh individuals, we don’t know what to state.

I happened to be actually excited to watch Diamonds Dena run this evening the Emerald Racing Club. She was 2-1 regarding morning range and had only outdone almost all of the ponies she was dealing with Friday.

Generally there ended up being justification for optimism.

But nope. Maybe not tonight. No chance, no exactly.

Diamonds Dena broke lousy from the gate, dropped far-back, and neglected to muster a rally when jockey Erick Lopez requested the girl for run. We finished a well-beaten sixth as Ronda Rocks–whom Diamonds Dena beat July 8–held down Winninginfashion when it comes to victory.

Mind you, I don’t head losing, it's area of the online game. And I’ve been around horse racing an extended time–38 many years to-be exact–and learned long ago never to assume anything in this recreation. Thoroughbreds are animals-not machines-and obtained their particular good and the bad like humans.
