MARCHFIELD, EQUIDAILY and...
MELYNK COLT BEGINS MARCH TO….
MARCHFIELD, a blue-blooded 3yo who is a Canadian-bred with the Queen’s Plate or perhaps the Kentucky Derby as a goal, makes his season debut tomorrow at Gulfstream in race 4.
The colt is by A.P. Indy out of Pico Tenerrife, by Red Ransom and was stakes placed in his 2nd start last year at Woodbine.
The field is a small, quality group and also in the race is IMPENDING, bred by Kinghaven Farms, who is making his debut. The Thunder Gulch – Light Show colt is a half-brother to Three in the Bag, who was on the Canadian classic trail 2 years ago.
Canadian Morgan Firestone owns and David Bell trains.
Todd Pletcher ttrains Melynk’s ‘other’ Canadian-brd Plate hope who competes in race 6.
OISTINS BAY drew the rail in the sprint race and is a homebred son of Deputy Minister out of Dante’s Mary by Boston Harbor.
A sup card at Gulfstream includes the 3yo debut of DREAMING OF ANNA, who used the Summer S. at Woodbine as a prep for her win in the Breeders’ Cup Juvrnile Fillies and a championship trophy at the Eclipse Awards.
TOPIC OF THE WEEK
Equidaily’s TOTW addresses women and getting them to come to the track to bet. THOROUGHBLOG had a chance to be involved and the other participants had some very good comments and ideas. TOTW is currently at the top of the Equidaily.com page.
BEYER ON SLOTS
Another exceptional write-up by Andrew Beyer in the Washington Post, Daily Racing Form this week talks about Gulfstream and why racing fans have to allow themselves to be 2nd in line behind those very strange slots players.

Just thought I'd give you the heads up that Welcome Again's Beyer was upped to 103 for his GP win.

Getting women to the track is one of the themes of the new documentary: WOMEN IN AMERICAN HORSE RACING. It is a cliche that girls fall in love with horses, but by the time they are women they are far, mentally and economically, from thinking of racing. But racing will have to go after them because they make family decisions on the entertainment dollar. By the way, the documentary gives a nod to Emma Wilson and her Woodbine titles, using pix that John Siscos provided.
