C R K Stables

4th-GP, $68k, Msw, 3yo, 6f, 2:25p.m. ET Drawn on the rail and the 9-5 morning line choice for his unveiling, No Compromise (Into Mischief) goes to post for trainer George Weaver and the partnership of Spendthrift Farm and Bregman Family Racing. Hailing from the female line which yielded Canadian champion 3-year-old filly Leigh Court (Grand Slam), this $800,000 KEESEP procurement in 2024 has been posting noteworthy works in the morning--three of his last five moves were quick enough to top the tabs at Palm Beach Downs. His dam Beckles Road...

5th-FG, $54K, Msw, 3yo, f, 6f, 3:45 p.m. ET. SHE'S OUR TEN (Constitution) will carry the colors for Lee Searing and C R K when she is unveiled under trainer Peter Eurton at Fair Grounds on Friday.

Desormeaux...

As Honor A. P. (Honor Code) was gearing up for his career debut at Del Mar last summer, owner Lee Searing had some fun with trainer John Shirreffs while inquiring about a potential rider for his stunning $850,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling acquisition. "I asked John, it wasn't like I didn't know, and said, 'Who are you going to be putting on this big horse,'" Searing said of the veteran conditioner widely known for playing his cards close to his vest. "He said, 'Well, I don't know Lee.' As we got...

C R K Stable's Royal Act (American Pharoah), a gritty second to undefeated Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile) in the GIII Robert B. Lewis S. Feb. 1 and fellow Lee Searing colorbearer Honor A. P. (Honor Code), an exceptionally impressive maiden winner when last seen over a mile last October, were each out for Saturday morning breezes over the Santa Anita main track.
