Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk didn't shine in his G3 attempt and finished 8th of 9. The race was won by Disfunction.
Silver Swallow finally got back to winning ways in an allowance optional claiming race at Hollywood Park yesterday. Her last win came when she broke her maiden on 18 February 2007. She followed up back then with a second in the Santa Anita Oaks to Rags To Riches. She only finished out of top three once in her 12 races, so she is very consistent and I am glad to see her win again. I hope it is the start of a good year for her.

Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk Tries To Make The Grade
Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk will go to post today in the Vigil S (G3) at Woodbine. The race is over 7 furlongs over the all-weather. David Clark will be on board.
The hard knocking gelding by Mutakddim finished a good second in his last race, the Jacques Cartier S on 26 April. He has been working well up to this race and I hope he finally gets a graded win. If there is any horse that deserves it, it is Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk.

Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk 2nd in Jacques Cartier
Seven-year-old gelding Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk showed that he is as good as ever yesterday in the Jacques Cartier Stakes at Woodbine. He gamely raced near the front, bid inside the leader at the turn, but was taken back from tight quarters. He rebid nearing the top of the stretch, vied and was passed only a sixteenth out by the favourite Legal Move.
The Mutakddim gelding, owned by Tucci Stables and trained by Sid Attard has now accumulated price monies of over $650,000.

Weekend Afterthoughts
There are a few things I want to reflect on regarding the weekend's action:
# Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk won his third race of the year. He returned to his native Canada and his hometrack Woodbine in style after a winter spell in Florida, winning an allowance optional claiming race worth CAN$78,400. It was the tenth win of his career, in which he accumulated over 600k in winnings. He's no slouch!
# Quite remarkably Under The Sun and Sweet Velvet both returned to the races for the first time since 2005! Both ran at the Washington track Sun Downs on Sunday going 4f in different races on the card. Under The Sun managed to come back with a win and Sweet Velvet ran third in her race.
# Fancy Footsteps won for Kenneth & Sarah Ramsey, the first race since they claimed her on 29 February. She is a Maktoum-bred (Gainsborough) filly out of one of my 2001 crop mares.
# Spitfire and Silver Wind finished second and third respectively when they competed against each other in conditions stakes at Doncaster on Saturday. Both should do well this season.
# Last, but not least, Gipson Dessert ran a credible fifth in the Prix De La Grotte at Longchamp on Sunday. She bravely set the pace in the heavy ground, only to run out of puff in the final furlong. Zarkava, the Aga Khan filly that won the race, looks to be quite something and is one to keep an eye on. However, I think Gipson Dessert, a daughter of my 2001 crop mare Gypsy Hollow, will improve from her first outing of the season and she should be competing in the top 3yo filly races through the spring and summer. She deserves her shot!
