Storming Off

Today will mark the first time that I am involve in claiming a horse. The horse that we try to claim is call Storming off and it is entered in Race 1 at Belmont for a $35k Tag. Storming Off is by Theatrical(Ire) out of a Storm Cat Mare Stormy Sea, he is a 3 year old bred by Overbrook farm. I have been following this horse since July 31 when he ran in a $45K claiming race at Sara toga. He won that race easily as the odd on favorite and was claimed by his current connection. His last race (a $60K claiming) was very impressive, he finished 3rd and lost by 2 length to G2 winner Stream of Gold. Stream of Gold already came back and ran 2nd in the Kentucky Turf Cup(G2) last weekend. Storming off last 3 races Beyers are 89, 86 and 86 and to me he is a real bargain at $35k level. Let's just hope the horse come back sound and healthy.

Update : We just find out Storming off had a blown tendon, we are now switching our focus to Crimson Comic. But instead of claiming the horse, we are looking into purchasing the horse privately after his race today.
