Ch2 ODDS AND ENDS - not big enough for a thread of their own

[Messenger]

The name Alilthundadownunda caught my eye in the title of a story on the USTA website
and set me wondering what an American horse is doing with that name

It turns out that he is a homebred whose sire is ex NZer Malak Uswaad who won $95k in NZ as a consistent performer at 2, 3 & 4 before going to the US where he took his earning to $566k
He is a Bettors Delight and his dam side hails from the renowned Black Watch line
Interestingly although Malak Uswaad is a NZ bred his dam was US bred and although they must have been humble races HRNZ shows her as having won 5 from 5 over in the US for stakes of $17,550

3yo Alilbitofthundadownunda is 20/1 to win the $300,000 Carl Milstein Memorial Invitational for 3yo's at MGM Northfield Park on Saturday. Favourite is Charlie May, who you might remember was unlucky to be disqualified in the Meadowlands pace last month
Unfortunately Malak Uswaad died shortly after the mating or else he may have become a frequent visitor to the home breeding barn

Watching R5 at Maryborough today at one stage Blitzern and Lieutenant Jack were side by side, although it looked liked Blitz only came up to LJ's undercarriage
I hope Trevor S reads this as he bred the Lieutenant.
How big is he Trev?

I watched the footy instead of the trots tonight but looking at the results
there was either some good plunges or the assessed prices with the fields were way off on a few (who does these assessments - the tipster? Craig Rail in this case)

R1 listed Gee Cee Calder as $11 - paid $2.70
R5 listed Sew What as $21 - paid $5.60
R6 listed Villacci as $14 - paid $5.40

Anything For Love's return to form in the US, reminded me of the fact that he contested the fastest Miracle Mile ever, won by My Field Marshal

My Field Marshal was an entire I think so does anybody know why he was not tried as a stallion (he is listed as retired from both racing and breeding)

He's a rig which I guess would be why.

Thanks Breno, that explains it

Lotakevi won his 5th race at his 112th start today
Nothing sensational
But if I had backed him for the same amount to win every start, I would be well ahead
as his starting price dividends add up to $181 dollars
