Meadowlands 29th of june

Just going through the fields and i noticed a couple of nicely bred colts stepping out for the first time in a race.

Rce 4
BIGRISK - Somebeachsomewhere colt out of Artistic Vision making him a half brother to Rock N Roll Heaven 1.47.6 and $2.7m.

Rce 5
Source Of Pride - American Ideal colt out of Trim Hanover making him a full brother to outstanding filly this year American Jewel 1.48.2 $1m.

Both colts were sold at Lexington in 2011

Bigrisk- formally named Hitting The Cycle was sold for $450k

Source Of Pride was sold for $280k

Can see where they got the name Bigrisk from but impeccably bred.

Bigrisk 4th in 1.54.1

Source Of Pride last in 1.55.2

As Bill Horn used to say "once that blue light goes on their Mum and Dad can't help them"

Source Of Pride bounced back in great fashion after making a mistake a week earlier. He won at the Meadowlands on the 6th of july going 1:52.4 and looked good doing it. Bigrisk placed 3rd in a later race which the winner's time was 1:52.4

Thanks Mango, I'm glad about Source of Pride, thats a horse that interests me in particular. Sadly this years Meadowlands Pace looks to only be a 600K race well down from the million of only a few years ago.

Hi Dot

I just looked at the Meadowlands pace heats and there's 8 in each, it's run sat night over there so we should get to see it live a bit before lunch time sunday which will be good.

Sadly I'll be working, I knew it was going to be 2 eliminations of 8 thus the reduction in prizemoney, have been following it, and the locals commentry on the runners, on the lightning lane

About 10 oclock they start mango

eliminations to Sweet Lou and Heston Blue Chip
