Hey Mick:
Rumor has it St. Bonaventure the Horse is running this Saturday. A few alum buddies and I are looking to make a small wager. How does he look?

Saint Bonaventure is running in the first race at Tampa Bay Downs on Monday. The race is a 7 furlong run and he is 6-1 in the morning line odds. This is a good spot for him, coming off a big win a few weeks ago at 1 1/16th miles. He blew away the field in his maiden win, as one fan said, "he looked like Secretariat!" This should be a good race for him - he has been running well with several seconds and a third before picking up this win. There are two other Bona Venture Stables horses running also Monday - Spirit of Life in the second race and Rockit Man in the fourth - all at Tampa Bay Downs.
By the way, look for Bona Venture Stables first ever horses at Saratoga this summer - our 2 year-olds, Chestnut Glitter and Straight Blush will race there this summer.

Saint Bonaventure finished second in the 7 furlong race at Tampa Bay downs yesterday. The race was a bit short for him - it seems he prefers a distance of one mile or better. Saint Bonaventure was boxed behind a wall of sprinters for much of the race but once clear in the stretch he raced past all but the winner, who he may have caught if the race was a quarter-mile longer. This race will set him up well for racing at Monmouth Park in New Jersey this summer. The Monmouth Park meet starts in early May and runs through mid-September.
