Todd Warren drove a perfect race finding second over cover up the backside, making a winning move coming into the stretch to cruise home in a game winning mile of 1:55.2. Thank you Todd, Amanda, Samantha and Rick for helping me out this week to get her raced.
Last training trips for my 3 year old home bred trotting colt before his spring qualifier and the start of his 3 year old racing season. This is a long video that includes the two warmup jog miles then both training trips. First trip in 2:35 the second was in 2:22. Unfortunately we made a break in the last turn, but it was my fault and not his. This horse has more desire than athletic ability… lets see how he does this year.
Excelerated Speed won her first start of the year. Sharing first money in a dead heat finish on a very cold 5′ night at Hawthorne. She left very well and cut the mile on the front end battling a very strong headwind down the stretch. I am very pleased with her effort considering she was off for three weeks.
Excelerated Speed split the dead heat with the Leonard’s MJ’s Last Dance. Both horses were a dead heat for the second and third spots, but the stewards ruled an interference incident against the winning horse which moved the two dead heat horses to the winners’s position.

Followed up by Kaydon Begone jetting off the gate from the 7 hole to take the lead and then settling in for a two hole trip and exploding down the stretch. Even at ten years old with an assortment of battle wounds this horse loves to race and I enjoy watching him.
