Numaany & National Pride to Start Saturday
As mentioned before, both Numaany and GbG horse of interest National Pride have been back in the U.S of A training after being acquired by Godolphin in the fall last year.
National Pride has not raced since his debut in November where he broke his maiden impressively beating Saratoga Russell. Numaany has raced a few times in Dubai unsuccessfully. Both look to be training well and are set to return at the allowance level at Saratoga this Saturday.
Numaany is entered in the 7th, a 1 1/16th 68k allowance on the turf and National Pride is entered in the 9th, a 6 1/2F 67k allowance on the dirt.
For those of you who haven’t seen it, here’s Numaany’s odd and impressive maiden race… the bootleg quality of the video certainly adds to the overall WTF of the scenario.
Keep an eye open for them on Saturday… not so much from a betting perspective, at least not for National Pride who’s the 2-1 favorite in the morning line, but from a “this could be interesting” perspective.
Alright, back to not blogging… and if anyone has any poll suggestions, let me know.

I’m waiting for Discreet Treasure, too. Wouldn’t hurt getting the grass test out of the way–El Prado.
Poll..hmmm—After Eight Belles, no one is pushing Music Note to aim for the Travers. But she’d have a large, large chance. Not an exciting poll, but I wish more people would talk about the Music Note Travers possibility. I read something from Haskins but that’s it—might’ve missed a few things. Have heard nothing from Music Note’s owners.
Unlikely.
I remember that race.
I guess he was just trying to give the other horses a fighting chance.
How about polling what industry leader is, pardon the grammar, most useless?
amazing vid. was that alan?
It was Castellano.
E - I was a little bummed when Discreet Treasure was entered as a MTO, hope they put him on dirt
winston - lol
Ray - BB beat me to it! Castellano
I will never get tired of watching that race…I was so disappointed that he got shipped off, and even more so that he was unsuccessful here. Really looking forward to his return…
