Lisa's Booby Trap

Six and 1/2 furlongs didn’t do much better, with a 6th place finish.
Now what?

Lisa’s 2yo colt by Gun Runner is named “Carmie’s Army”. He was offered in F-T’s 2yo in training mid-atlantic sale last May (linked), but was withdrawn. Current status unknown.

Again a 7th place finish for Silipo in a 7 furlong race. :roll_eyes::

Perhaps a shorter dstance would work better. He did a whole lot better at 5 furlongs in his last w/o.

And another 5 fulong w/o with reasonable time for Silipo.

On the 24th a 6.5 furlong claiming race,ignomineous finish for Silipo

Meanwhile,Carmie’s Army is showing improvement in his works.

It is over 2mos since Equibase shows any activity for Silipo… Was he claimed, sold, or on lay-up?

It is now over 3mo since any word on Silipo. Is it safe to assume that he’s now someone’s Sport Horse project? I hope.

Carmie’s Army will make his maiden debut for trainer Chad Brown on 1/27 at Gulfstream, 1 mile on the turf. He will be in for a $50k tag. Coming off of an extended and mostly mediocre workout pattern.

Silipo is back, He did a 3F workout at Belmont on 1/22.

Carmie’s Army scratched from race 4, at Gulfstream.

Vet scratched. Not exactly getting his career off on the right foot :confused:

Hmmm! Carmie’s Army is back to breezing.

Too bitter cold to do work outs in NY

No longer bitter cold but still no w/o for Silipo. It is almost 3 weeks since his single work out after a long silence.

Is he, at last, being retired?

Aha! They heard me. Silipo did a 4 furlong so-so w/o yesterday.

Carmie was never involved in his debut and finished up the track :frowning:

Unfortunately, I did not watch the race, and replays are a sign-in.
But, his finish, and your post sound sad.
