Dee Tee 2 out for CLM today
 

What's the chances of getting our second runner today at Keeneland?

High.. Just sent Email to group about it in fact.

Will be looking for it

Chuck is at KEE and ready to move on a runner in the 2nd.. There were 2 we had interest in in this $25k 2yo CLM event, and one has scratched (#1 , Workinonthrailroad). The other may see a few claims, and if there is a shake and we don't win it, we will move on to the 10th... Stay tuned!

Let's get 'em!!!

Nice winner in the 2nd kee
 

Hope we got that one....
Looks like he can run all day
and like the fact that he is just a 2YO from great connections.
Here's hoping....

What's Chuck's record with shakes? There had to be several claims in on that one.

He did look strong. I like that move up the rail from a young horse as well. Let's hope...

My wife gave me the call over the phone. Sounded good...

Hope it shakes out in our favor!

anyone know final time of race and the details.... im here are work and very curious!!!! Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Mike Maker got him for the Ramsey's

Unfortunately, Targe was claimed by Michael Maker for Kenneth Ramsey.

well darn.

no doubt he'd have been better off with us!

Darn
 

Not the Ramsey's......
Sometimes the world just isn't fair....
Oh well, just wasn't meant to be and there are obvious other opportunities out there
PSH:mad:

:( here's to hoping for better luck in the future...

Doh! That sucks.

Dang.

It was 5 way shake..

Chuck said he was an OK horse too.. A bit offset in his right front, but would have been a solid claim.

On to the 10th..

thanks for the update Steve, do you have any info on the mare in the 10th? shes a 5yo correct? I havent had an opportunity to look into her (cause of my computer situation) and I was wondering what you and Chuck think. Thanks.

Still haven't gotten that fix yet? :D

How's things going with the new job?

1 MTP...

Chuck tells me there will be a 3 WAY shake for the #2..

Bid Made goes to Scott Lake

After a third to last effort I'm not too upset to lose that shake.

Relief
 

Not so sad to lose that shake either...
Although the horse and rider ran a strange race.....

Am sad that we lost that first shake though....

Onto other opportunities. A few claiming races this weekend.

PSH

Still an exciting day. On to the next one...

Perhaps Workinonthrailroad will run some time in the near future since they scratched today.

Would we try to claim that one?

Doubtful.. Word came down that Maker was anxious to get rid of him (and Ramsey wasn't).. We'll take Maker's view.

how are the next couple of days looking?

At least 1 of interest both Sat and Sun at KEE..

Now that you said that
 

It was so true, watching Keeneland's 2nd and 9th and wondering if we were going to claim a horse or not, being in a couple of shakes all in all a good day, and being able to share it with the others on this board.....

PSH

The guys from TVG picked the winner in the 10th. I didn't look at Bid Made so don't know what the problem was but there was plenty of turf blood in her pedigree

The fact that I am discussing missing shakes at Keeneland is stll pretty remarkable to me...

:D

i had looked over the entries for those two days, had a feeling something might look interesting.
now here's hoping for better luck with the shakes!

One that got away ...
 

Paddock before the 2nd today.

Damn Chuck!
 

We missed a claim on a horse that just finished 10th! :eek:

Can someone tell me how how the shakes are done? Thanks

There is 1 shake in the case where there are multiple claims (with only 1 claim, no shake is necessary), with a pill placed in the bottle for each claimant. There were 5 claims on the 2 in the 2nd and 3 claims on the 2 in the 10th.

wow, active day. the pics are real nice too.

I agree it was a new kind of excitement, Steve and Chuck thanks for the efforts I'am sure although it didn't work out yesterday it involved a lot of time, effort and planning.
Given the difference in claiming price ($25 - $16) had we been successful with the 10th race claim, what would have been the plan with the remaining bankroll?:eek:

Run her back where she could win, let her get claimed, betting the remaining bankroll and move the partnership up the ladder....or did you have a conservative strategy in mind?
