I have been away for a few days, but here's a small recap of what happened with the ToF horses in the meantime:
Richochet, a 7yo grey gelding by El Prado out of Attach, won a claiming race at Mountaineer Park on 9 September. It was his first win in almost a year and his 19th start of 2008. He won the race by 2 1/4 lengths over Yoyo Jabo and ran the 6 furlongs in 1.11.97 over a muddy track. He is owned by Fred C Schunmann and trained by Charles Kieser and it is the first win for them since he was claimed in March 2008 for $5,000. He was bred at Claiborne Farm.
Two 2004 boys I am happy to see back on the work tabs are Z Z Dome and Helsinki. Helsinki ran third in the 2007 editions of the Travers (behind Street Sense) and the Brooklyn H (behind Any Given Saturday). He was never quite good enough to run with the big boys, but I always cheered him on. Z Z Dome is a stakes winner at Sunland Park (2007 Pepsi Cola H) and Zia Park (2007 NM Cup Classic Championship). I hope they will get back to their best.
Ought, a four-year-old Grand Slam filly, won for the second time this year, when she beat her rivals with a front running performance in the 7th at Mountaineer on 14 September.
Frozen Fire unfortunately disappointed in the St Leger. Warringah was in way over his head as his stablemate Conduit took the spoils. Hopefully they will both bounce back well from this.
