January 2006

   2006 started off good for Tim and Glyshaw Racing Stables.  Ruby's Prize ran on the 13th in an allowance race.  She finished a strong 4th.  Smokey Buras ran later in the month in an allowance race finishing 5th after a 4 month layoff.  He will be ready for his normal race, a mile or longer, sometime in February and promises to be tough.  Captain Tom captured the 6th race on the 26th with Mathieu Adam aboard.  He paid $17.00 for the win. January was good for another reason, too.  Tim and Natalie were married near New Orleans, Louisiana, on the 14th. 

February 2006

     On February 21, Mr. James T. Hines, Jr. was found dead from accidental drowning at his home near Owensboro, Kentucky.  Tim is currently training four horses for Mr. Hines.  They will continue to run in The Estate of Mr. James T. Hines, Jr.  Mr. Hines had many nice horses including Ruby Surprise.  Mr. Bob Holthus trained her and Tim was his assistant during her career.  Ruby Surprise won the Humana Distaff at Churchill Downs, and earned almost $800,000. Ruby Suprise is the dam of Ruby's Prize, who in December won an allowance race for Tim.  Rahy's Secret, a stakes winner of over $321,000 was retired at the age of 8.  He was spend the rest of his days at a farm in Louisiana for owner Keith Plaisance. 

RAHY'S SECRET 

March 2006

Above is Darrell H, a 3 year old owned by the Estate of James Hines Jr.  He is a very playful colt who on March 31 worked 5 furlongs in 1:02.40 (second fastest of 13 on the day) at Turfway and is pointing to a maiden special weight race at Keeneland.  He hopes to continue the winning ways of the other Hines horses. 

(Below pictures) On the 23rd, Steven O wearing the white and blue silks of the late Mr. Hines stormed home in front paying $56.60 for the win.  He improved dramatically from his last three races and is figuring out how to be a race horse. Captain Tom is gearing up for a strong April by working on March 30th in 0:35.20 for 3 furlongs.  That was the bullet for the day from 12 other workers. 

April 2006

On April 8th with Roberto Villafan up, Captain Tom cruised home to a 7 length victory at Fairmont Park.  He came right back on the 25th to a length victory at Indiana Downs with Mathieu Adam aboard.

Randy's News Flash!

Meet Randy's News Flash, one of the newest members of the Glyshaw stable.  He is an Indiana Bred and Sired gelding owned by The Franks of Evansville, Indiana.  He is named for Randy Moore,a 23-year veteran of WTVW and also a resident of Evansville. Randy jogging (below) at Turfway.

 Darrell H (below) came in 2nd on April 30 at Churchill Downs in the slop.  John McKee was aboard.

May 2006

        Randy's News Flash, after a six month lay-off and one nasty tornado, ran a huge 2nd at Indiana Downs on May 12.  Spring is in full bloom as many of our two years old start to work.  (Below a set of two yr olds gallopping in company on the Polytrack) 

 Summer at Ellis 2006

 With the death of Mr. Jim Hines,Tim was asked to help liquidate the Hines Racing Stable via claims or being sold privately.  Darrell H ran, won and got claimed on September 1.  His stablemate Dick G was also claimed at Ellis.  Glyshaw hated to lose the horses owned by Mr. Hines, but he had to do what he was told by the excutor of Mr. Hines' will.  Other Hines' horses were privately sold or went to various sales.   

Fall at Turfway 2006

Glyshaw's stable is still in the growing stage, so this fall he only started 3 horses for the Fall meet at Turfway; winning with one of them.  Sun Spell, a three year old filly owned by Mr. W.J. Chamblin, stormed home under John Jacinto on October 1 in a Maiden race. Here she is working on September 9. 

Another Glyshaw trainee, Tahlquah; a three year old gelding owned by Mr. Dash Goff, is still learning the racing game.  Here he is breaking from the gate on Turfway's Polytrack with Mathieu Adam aboard.

Holiday Meet Turfway Park

Glyshaw Racing Stables made 10 starts during the month a December, with a win from Sun Spell and runner - up finishes from Mighty Military and First And Away.
