Will Flash Me Had A Bad Night
Will Flash Me was entered in the Texas Classic Futurity at Lone Star Park. This is a big big race that will have a purse of $1,000,000, two weeks from now. Horses are nominated for the race almost before they are born and their owners must make periodic payments to continue their eligibility for the big race. Two year olds running four hundred yard tonight for as much as $2,600 and a chance for a big payoff on November 9, 2013.
Many are entered but only the ten fastest times will qualify for the finals. A lot of owners entering their best horses for the chance to win some serious cash. The trials are weird races with maybe a couple of really good horses running and then other horses that are looking for lightning in a bottle.
Saturday night ninety eight horses in ten races. Houdini, Coronado Cartel, Big Biz Perry, Hes Relentless all qualified for the finals along with six other horses. These are some of the best horses in the game these days.
And then there was Will Flash Me in the 10th and final race of the night. On paper the horse did not look like a contender. I doubt I would have bet on him with other people's money. It turned out he ran in the race with the fastest qualifier of the night, Skuze Pleeze 19.450 seconds for 400 yards. Skuze Please will need something left in the tank to beat the other qualifiers on November 9th.
Will Flash Me is probably a better horse and it won't take much to run a better race than his race last night. The chart said it all. Brutal trip, 21.588 seconds. Kindly, it might be said he needed a tune up for this race, bobbled and bumped at start, steadied early, checked late. I predict this horse will be running in the claiming ranks as early as the next race out. His owners will need to pay some bills.
