Trifecta King's results, a winner for Speightstown, Pleasantly Perfect's first starter, plus works from 2-year olds and Curly.

The filly Trifecta King (Peace Rules) takes to the Hollywood Cushion on Thursday. Her dam is a half-sister to Church Service who is grade II-placed and most recently (on March 29, 2008) finished 2nd in the Tokyo City Handicap.

On track at Saratoga was Smart Woman. Smart Woman is a Smarty Jones' filly out of the winning Storm Cat mare, Storming Beauty. Storming Beauty is a daughter of champion Sky Beauty who earned $1,336,000 and won or placed in 17 graded stakes.

Worthy of comment is the progeny record of Yo Joe's sire, Wertaloona. Wertaloona has 6 named 2-year olds, 2 have raced and both are winners, and they have earned a total of $85,245. Overall, in 8 crops of racing age, he's had 41 foals, 30 starters and 24 winners.

Katolak Cowboy who finished 7th in his debut on April 20, becomes our first return runner. He will again try 2 furlongs at Woodbine. Three of his opponents are back, Tin Pan Alley Cat who finished 5th, Player's List who was 8th, and Can'tstopthiscat who finished 3rd.

The delightfully named Doodlebopmcgowan worked at Frost Training Center, recording a time of :35.20 for 3 furlongs. I can't wait to hear a track announcer get a hold of that one.

Curly was pushed wide, wide, wider than Big Brown in the Derby (officially 7 wide). Amazingly, Curly kept coming and coming.

What are you going to do after the Derby's over? Here is the perfect solution, cheer Curly on as he makes his second start.

Floating On Air did something that none of our other horses have, she showed speed and actually took the lead out of the gate.

Go Smarty Go (colt; Smarty Jones - Sarah's World by Holy Bull) worked 3 furlongs in :37.44 at Belmont Park.

Floating On Air (Peace Rules - Charmie's Secret by Secret Hello) is the first foal out of a mare who earned $56,445 and placed in the Hildene Stakes as a 2-year old. She is also a half-sister to 4 winners, 2 of which won during their 2-year old seasons.

I have to admit that Precious Beans is one my favorite names among the Medaglia d'Oros. But, a good name only gets you so far, now it's time to see what he can do on the track.

Mr Mistoffelees made his $1.5 million sale price look like a bargain, drawing off to win by 9 1/4 lengths. 9 1/4 lengths in a 4.5 furlong race?

Medaglia d'Onore's dam, Always Ready, was a winner who earned $29,294. Always Ready is a half-sister to More Than Ready, millionaire and grade I winner.

It was all about the girls at Woodbine, as fillies took the first three spots. This is not an uncommon phenomenon in baby races, as fillies, like human girls, mature faster than colts.
