Beatrippi

This Saturday marks the debut of our new colt, Beatrippi, on the hallowed stretches of Delaware Park. There have probably been both faster two year olds and more ridiculously named horses to grace this green Earth, but I can't remember a finer combination of the two since Deputy Glitters made his unfortunate entrance in the sport. This I assume from morning works and my own judgment of what constitutes a silly name.

Beatrippi is a Florida bred son of Trippi, out of the Silver Buck mare, Be Silver. Like True Raise, he's trained by Tony Pecoraro and will run under The Posse's silks. It should be noted that a race or two after True Raise was claimed away from us he set a track record at Penn National for 5 1/2 furlongs on the dirt. Evidently we dabble in talent, though I wish he'd have run that way for us. Either way, I'm looking forward to the colt's future and hope the best for him.
