Satin Kddin

[Gate Dancer]

Going to post this as a horse to watch. Ran last Saturday at Hawthorne in the 2nd race, a Mdn $25,000 claimer. Was totally shut off at the start in his prior race (1st Race on 3-8) and closed nicely to get 4th in his 3rd start of 2008. He was stretched out to 6F this past Saturday but again was bothered significantly at the start. Made a nice middle move but didn't close enough in the stretch. His first 6 races of his career were all at a mile or more. He may have to drop a notch or two and needs to be outside of horses but he seems to have enough turn of foot to break his maiden in the future. Don't know much about his trainer (Donna Dupuy) but they seem to be searching for the right spot. Hawthorne has race replays available at their site.

Satin Kddn runs today at the same level in only a 6 horse field. Should get the trip but others look better. Also appears to not like an off track. Better jockey today but believe a move down the ladder would be better to give this guy a shot.
