Michael Pender

Got to watch Ultimate Eagle run in Del Mar and fell in love. Purchased and jumped races horses for many years. What is the best way to track UE? Will he run in Santa Anita again? Stacey@benottoinvestments.com

Floridaf · I'm interested to see if Ultimate Eagle will do as well on dirt as Pender believes that he will. Generally I operate on the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" premise, but this could be the exception. Pender seems fairly confident about this. · 51 days ago ·

ruffed grouse · Well this is the race for TC to step up for me as I have posted how talented I believe him to be. He has had his prep and should be set to get the 1 1/4. I don't know if this is the best spot for the lady but she must be doing well if the trainer wants to put her in here. · 221 days ago ·

12 Clip · Impressive win in the San Gabriel. Beat some good turf horses on a good surface. Like the way he exploded up the rail. This could be a big year for Jeranimo. When he was younger he was a bit high-strung. But now as he's gotten older, he's alot more mellow and focused. This son of Congaree, has the potential to put together a very good season. It'll be him and Sidneys Candy who will be battling it out for top Californian horse. · 408 days ago ·
