Post race reports

Ausable Chasm came out of race clearly tired and with as many experiences under the girth as possible. Pre-race the filly was perfect, and Alex Solis told us that she did great waiting in the gate and was sharp when the latch sprung. She did everything he asked including the slightly forced lead change around the eighth pole. She ate a lot of heavy mud, and was being hit hard with it around the turn but tried to run through it according to Solis. Alex then wrapped up on her past the sixteenth. She should benefit from the race in every way imaginable.
It was a great day at the Old Spa, with an enthusiastic crowd of more than 40 Dee Tee partners, their family and friends, as well as a slew of Derby Trailers. Many went to barn after the race as well. If all goes well, she'll run back in 21-28 days! Thanks again to everybody that made it possible and all who turned out...
 
Redboard King returned to the barn following his 5th place finish quite tired. He was forced to cut faster fractions on the lead than we would have liked to have seen but still held well until deep in the stretch when he finally weakened. Tony Black felt that he should improve off this effort and hated that his hand was forced by a couple of no-hope horses who showed speed before fading badly. There was a large contingent of Dee Tee partners at Philly this afternoon and many are staying for Kickin n Screamin's race on Saturday.
 

Ausable Chasm Debut's at the Spa

Dee Tee Stables Ausable Chasm makes her first start Sunday in the 2nd race at Saratoga Racecourse. The two year old Hook and Ladder filly has trained well in preparation for her debut in New York state bred maiden special weight company. A large contingent of partners is expected to be on hand for the race and hopefully they will be rewarded with a good effort. While the rail is not the ideal spot for a first timer, she should benefit from the experience of veteran rider Alex Solis.

Redboard King wins the 9th race at Philadelphia park on the 4th of July!!!

What a great way to make the holiday weekend especially memorable! Congratulations and thanks to all the partners, Chuck, Susan and Redboard for the effort. Most of all, for me personally (and I hope everyone else), special thanks and congratulations to Tony Black. It's special to break a maiden with a horse under any circumstances, but to get this photo with Tony in our silks means a great deal to me. I have spoken to Tony on the radio for 25 minutes 200 times in the past 4 years, and his generosity with me and the audience has been remarkable. I'll particularly cherish this win, and he's already expressed to me his pleasure at winning for us.-Steve Byk
