Go Spike Go!
Zoominthewind has been has been nominated for a Maiden Stakes Race at Hialeah Park. The three year old has never won a race and you might think wtf is Thunderstruck Stable thinking. There are all sorts of maiden races for horses that have never won a race. Zoominginthewind is a filly and has raced well. This isn't much different than playing craps and after all is said and one it will probably cost about $1,000 to enter her into the race that might be worth about $15,000 to the winner of the race.
These decisions are made after beer, during the races and with the understanding that money talks a lot louder than some of the other stuff you hear at the track.
The race is on February 28, 2015 and the fee to nominate the horse was $250.00 and probably an additional $500.00 to pass the entry box.
Now we need to find a race we can win before the stakes race because they may choose the horses for the race based on how much money they have won and winners of a race after nomination will have preference.
And this is for horses that have not won a race??? Go figure?
