The last two days of racing have been incredible for me at Philadelphia Park.  I rode one on Monday and Won for Mike Trombetta on CAMARA OCULTA($13.60).  Today I rode two races Winning both.  One for Julio Cartegena on SHROUD($15.80) and one for Lawrence Horning Jr on THUNDERING ROSE($12.80) Good pay outs if you would have bet on me. This brings my winning total to13 Wins in the last 8 days.  My week will continue to be a lot of traveling at a few different races tracks.  Tomorrow you will find me at Laurel Park, Thursday I will be riding in the $125,000 Sycamore Stakes Grade 3(1 1/2 mile Turf) in Keenland, KY on Cloudy's Knight for Jonathan Sheppard:

Cloudy's Knight, Winchester vie for favoritism in Sycamore

Article by Brisnet.com

CLOUDY'S KNIGHT (Lord Avie), who overcame a year-long layoff to take the Kentucky Cup Turf (G3) last month, will seek to make it two in a row when he heads a large cast to post in Thursday's $125,000 Sycamore S. (G3) at Keeneland. The 1 1/2-mile turf feature attracted 15 entrants, only 12 of which will be allowed to start.

Named Canada's champion turf horse following a score in the 2007 Canadian International (Can-G1), Cloudy's Knight was uncompetitive in four starts last season, his last under the tutelage of Chicago-based conditioner Frank Kirby. Eventually transferred to Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard, the now nine-year-old gelding showed signs of his old self when returning from a lengthy spell at Kentucky Downs September 19. Conceding 10 lengths early, Cloudy's Knight gradually made up ground and opened up a commanding lead in the stretch to win by 2 1/2 lengths under Rosemary Homeister Jr., who is back in the saddle for the Sycamore.

This will mark Cloudy Knight's first start in Lexington in more than two years. He was a close fifth in the 2007 Elkhorn S. (G3) when last trying the local turf.

I will also be riding R Brown Sugar for owner Richard Averill in a 5 1/2 furlong turf sprint in Keenland as well.  Then on Friday and Saturday I will be back at Laurel Park and on Sunday I will be riding at Philadelphia Park.  Hope to see you at the races!
