Guyana Star Dweej ??

Is this longshot going to hit the board?


I watched all his races to see if I could figure out why he is entered. He has shown some very fast spurts, now has K. Desormeaux. and connections had to pay over $20K to enter.


Have any horses that ran in a maiden claimer won a triple crown race?

He is the most loaded loaded up front with stamina breeding along with Optimizer but who knows if that will turn them into Belmont winners. In tough here.

Derby & Preakness winner Charismatic broke his maiden in a maiden claimer.

I heard he has been drinking all week.

This guy was eased in the Belmont and now his connections are bringing him back in the Dwyer. Why? Wouldn't an optional claimer be more his level? I don't know, just wondering out loud.

Anyone remember Owner Robert Perez and trainer Alfredo Callejas. Their 4 & 5 horse entries in new York bred stakes, most or all by the sire Señor Speedy. I was a kid at the time but i thought it was some sort of playful joke when they entered a horse every other year in the Belmont during the 90s. Although, El Bakan was 3rd in the '93 Preakness and Secreto de Estado 3rd in the '96 Travers. I believe Perez was instrumental in bringing over a well known New York rider of today... Cornelio Velazquez. Callejas & Perez were from Argentina but imported a lot of Panamanian horses.

I believed their both deceased, but Alfredo's son Bernardo trains a few. They really did have some good horses though. Guyana Star's connection remind me of Perez/Callejas with the ambitious placements. But even back then an allowance and some minor stakes placing meant you were 70-1 in the big races. Now-a-days, it's straight from maiden to grade 1.

I think everyone who followed NY racing back then would remember them.. they ran a lot of horses in those familiar red and yellow silks.. http://i47.tinypic.com/28vwxno.png

They had some all right ones along the way, Mil Kilates was probably my favorite. They once upset Unbridled's Song with a horse named Pacific Fleet..

Secreto de Estado was third in the 96 Jim Dandy... Their other runner Malthus was third in the Travers the previous year.
