Kiss The Kid Runs Second In Final Career Start

ThoroughbredZone — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:05:03 +0000

6-year-old Kiss the Kid ended his racing career Friday night at the Meadowlands with a game effort in running second in the Grade II Meadowlands Cup to winner Etched. Kiss the Kid rallied on the far turn and made a long sustained drive on the outside of Etched. He came up a little short of going out a winner. He was getting there, but ran out of room. Once again he showed his affinity for a sloppy track with another strong run over it. Darley’s Etched won his third consecutive race and made it four wins out of five career starts. Etched ran the 1 1/8 miles in a near track record time over a sloppy track in a sharp 1:45.93. The track was playing to speed all night, and the times reflected that as well. Kiss the Kid finished his career with 8 career wins out of 34 starts, and earnings of over $700,000, earning over half of that on the turf. Kiss the Kid is expected to stand at Journeyman Stud in Ocala, Fla.

Big Brown Bobble Head

These snap shots are from June 13, 2008. It was Big Brown Bobble Head Day. It was a decent crowd, rain came late. Michael Iavarone signed snap shots of Big Brown and bobble heads for about an hour, and Big Brown became the newest member of Monmouth Parks Hall of Champions and the newest banner dropped. During the time he was signing one of IEAH’s horses, Please Impress won an off the turf race. Told him before the race, his horse looked superb on the track as he galloped alone without a pony…

The Monmouth Stakes was a spectacular race. Once again Presious Passion ignored on the board, took the lead opened up, hooked at the bend and passed, but dug in to regain the lead and fended off Banrock, in one of the most exciting races of the year so far.

Race 6 was a maiden special weight that ThoroughbredZone went over. Easy Gallop was scratched. Bounty Heroes in fact did run in New York. He was fractious before the start of the race and did not want any part of the gate. Raced into contention, but could not get to the winner late. Raising Timber, was well bet. Raced decent, but did not have enough late. Nice looking colt, has speed and Stronach Stable’s Devil’s Victory got off to a poor start, and was never a factor finishing up the track. He did however, looked super in the paddock. There is a pic above of him. Would think this race was a toss. He should run better next out.
