Welcome to Timothy L. Keefe Racing Stable

Details

Defending champion Eighttofasttocatch has a mile and an eighth to dispense with five rivals in Saturday’s $100,000 Harrison E. Johnson Memorial Stakes, the closing day feature of the winter meeting at Laurel Park.

Eighttofasttocatch (4-5) won five races at Laurel in 2011, including four stakes races, with an average Beyer Speed figure exceeding 100 and finished fourth in the voting for Maryland-bred Horse of the Year behind graded winners Ben’s Cat, Ask the Moon and Havelock.

The son of Not For Love offspring made his 6-year-old debut with a disappointing fourth place finish in the General George Handicap (G2) on February 20 for trainer Tim Keefe.

“We didn’t have an easy trip and I would love to have the opportunity to run the race again but that is racing,” Keefe said. “He had a great run up until then and I have no complaints. I am very happy with how he is training leading up to this race.”

Details

Maryland-bred Mystical Terp scored his second career victory by taking a starter allowance Thursday for Matthew Brown, N R S Stable and Tim Keefe (that's me!). We purchased the son of Lion Heart for $30,000 at Timonium in 2009 and he's gradually become as reliable as fresh milk in the morning. A come-from-behind sprinter, the big bay gelding has hit the board in eight consecutive races, earning lucrative Maryland-bred and Maryland Million bonuses. I love a horse who shows up and tries – that's all you can ask – every time you go over there. That's 13 wins for the year. As the great Woody Guthrie sang, "Roll on, Columbia, Roll on."

 

Details

The ticker to the right ticked to two digits, with a nice win from Boudicca. Owned and bred by Charles and Cynthia McGinnes, the 3-year-old daughter of Hard Spun nailed Virginia Ann in the final strides to win by a neck. Sheldon Russell guided the chestnut filly to the victory.

LAUREL, MD. 02-15-12---Trainer Michael Hushion has won two of the previous four Barbara Fritchie Handicaps, winning with Golden Dawn (2008) and Harissa (2011). This Saturday, the Belmont Park-based conditioner is sending graded stakes winners Nicole H and Lovely Lil south in search of another Grade 2 score.

The storied $200,000 Fritchie kicks off holiday racing this weekend at Laurel Park. The John B. Campbell Handicap is the co-feature on Saturday with the $200,000 General George Handicap (G2) headlining Monday’s President’s day card.
