Fantasmin (ARG)

I am in my first partnership owning race horses and my horse Fantasmin was in the 4th at Oak Tree today, a 6.5F Turf race down the hill, $50k claimer. He broke well, led thru 5F, but didn't like the dirt interchange at SA. Kind of jumped the dirt and lost momentum. Finished 4th, but 1/2 length from second. Would not have won, but a 2nd would have been nice. Oh well, it was so much fun watching him on TVG, but I was so nervous that he wouldn't do well. Very encouraging that he can get 43 4/5, since this was his first race in a year, and he only raced in Argentina before, so we didn't really know how he'd run. Anyway, it sure is fun.

Congrats on the horse. Looks like he will be a winner soon.

Thanks. I hope so. maybe N1x which he's still eligible.

It sounds very good, so give him time to new racing circuits, he will learn from it.
The fun will come maybe sooner maybe later.

Seems like a lot of horses need a run on that track to get used to it. Fantasmin is a powerful-looking horse who, from what's posted in the database, seems lightly raced. but has proven he can win.

Have fun with him!
