He's All Heart had his first work of the year today breezing 3f in 37 flat, He returned to EMD a couple weeks ago and has been galloping regularly, after being loosened up on the farm in Yakima.
Heart has a chance to be his sires all time leading money earner this year
!!! haha yes it won't hold probably since its a young sire, but the horse with greater earnings
Zenovit, has never looked the same since sweeping the EMD/HST Oaks at 3.
This years handicap division could be one of the toughest ever, as a promising three year old bunch, makes there way into the older horse division. Including
Couldabenthewhisky, who was the champion two year old, and
Jebrica, three year old champ who actually won the BC Premiers against older horses at HST, b4 trying synthetic at GG against older horses to end the year.
Noosa Beach the perrenial champ, and dominating horse in the NW, will be skipping the George Royal at HST this year and pointing directly to the Governers in late may at EMD. Noosa Beach beat
Jersey Town in the 2010 Longacres MIle G3, and was runner up last year to the ageless wonder
Awesome Gem. Noosa Beach was nominated to the BC Mile last year, but could not participate due to a foot issue, but I know thats there goal for him again this year.
Winning Machine has already put in 4 registered works, I would guess they might enter in the George Royal, now that Noosa Beach isn't running, he was off form as a 4 year old but, returned last year to go 2-3-0 in 7 starts and earn 62k (really good for up here). He ran some game races, and definately took the shine off of Noosa Beach's dominating edge. Furthermore he has ran well over the HST surface, winning the G3 BC Derby at 3, and finishing 2nd last year in the BC Premier to Jebrica (trifecta was filled out by another EMD horse Assessment!)
Noosa Beach is one of the many promising foals to come out of the young sire Harbor the Gold, he has routinely churned out fast developing horses, and champions now in Washington and Oregon. He stands for 5500$ in Oregon.
