None for today

Just watched Gilligan's race over on Calracing- because of him- everyone got $1 beers from the result being official until post time of the next race. Apparently, at Sacramento- if the winner of the feature race is an odd number- it's $1 beer time!  I'm sure that he has more fans now  (He was the #5 horse)

Lady Aspen was 10th (6 back) in the Matchmaker G3- they tried to change her running style- had her up close, but it just didn't work. Normally, she at the back, and makes a huge run on the backside and down the lane.

Gilligan was 4th- had a nightmare trip. Tried to make a run twice, was cut off each time. Had to wait, once clear- nice energy- but ran out of room. I have to say that I am pleased at how he looks- was feeling good in the post parade.

http://www.equibase.com/static/chart/pdf/PRX080514USA2.pdf

We have 2 runners today, both in stakes

Grand Rapport $100K John's Call Stakes 1 5/8 T  http://www.equibase.com/static/entry/SAR080614USA-EQB.html#RACE9
Seems to be back in good form once again- and added bit of distance may work in this one favor- but will be a challenge.  20 7-4-5 $454,370
Father Mick A. J. Foyt Stakes $85K 1 1/16 T http://www.equibase.com/static/entry/IND080614USA-EQB.html#RACE9
Tried this stake 2 years ago, with a 5th place finish(less than 4 back)- but really needs to step up - has been off form as of late. Hopefully, will get a piece. 
35 6-6-6 $222,170

Good luck to our runners today, and come home safe
