October 31, 2008Las Vegas, NV - ELITE STABLES finished October with 5 in the money finishes and is gearing up for an action packed November. The highlight of the month was watching HOME OF THE GOLD kick off Breeders Cup Saturday with 9 length victory at Delaware Park. It was such an easy effort that he is ready to run again and will be a major threat on November 1st at Philadelphia Park when he is the 9 horse in the 6th Race at 2:31EST. The race can be seen on TVG (Directv 602) or www.philadelphiapark.com . HOME OF THE GOLD is a 3YO colt by the Pacific Classic winner CAME HOME. GEEFOUR, the stakes placed 4YO by DIXIE UNION, returned to the races in October and delivered a huge effort. He scored a 100 Equibase Speed figure in his 2nd place finish at Philadelphia Park on October 7th. Due to his 6 month lay-off and the fact that claims have been down, Elite felt like taking the risk of putting him in a claiming race. Elite got lucky when there were no claims. Elite will try their luck one more time by entering him in one more claiming race at Penn National. After that it’s on to Allowance an Stakes company. LUCKY MAMA likely finished her career with ELITE STABLES on October 30th with a nice effort at Laurel Park. She finished 2nd in an ALLOWANCE race, she would have won if not for some 25 to 1 shot shocking the world. Due to the elite status she achieved since joining ELITE STABLES after being acquired from Kentucky Derby winning trainer Bob Baffert, there has been international interest in her and a couple of Elite’s other stars; HADAVISION, the two time stakes winner and ACINONYX, two stakes places since being acquired from active win leader Jerry Hollendorfer. All three have been entered in the prestigious Keeneland Sale that starts on 11/2. MOSTLY PEACE, 2YO filly by PEACE RULES, tried racing one mile for the first time in her career in October. She liked it so much that she tried it twice, on 10/7 at Delaware she finished a hard-trying third then on 10/26 she showed improvement and scored a second place finish. If the trend continues, look for MOSLTY PEACE in the winner’s circle in November. MOSTLY PEACE was acquired from Steve Asmussen, trainer of 2007 horse of the year CURLIN. There have been many calls and e-mails regarding the status of ELITE'S stallion, the six-time Grade 1 winner GENTLEMEN. He is doing great in Louisiana and his first Louisiana foal is really thriving. ELITE didn’t get him to Louisiana in until after all of the good marketing opportunities had past and he still had a very good breeding season. GENTLEMEN was a great horse and has produced 9 stake winners in his career. Because of his stature in Louisiana, ELITE intends to keep him in Folsom, LA. Offers come in often for him and ELITE is always open to offers for any horse. Until an offer comes along that cannot be refused, look for GENTLEMEN to be the pride of Louisiana Breeders Program. September Results / October OutlookMonday October 6, 2008 – Las Vegas, NV - Elite Stables scored 5 in the money finishes in September with only 7 horses running during the month. Many of the stables horses are preparing for the auction season and others have been resting with an eye on the fall and winter months. The two biggest highlights in September took place at MONMOUTH PARK in New Jersey on the 13th and 14th. HADAVISION added to her already impressive resume by winning the TRENTON STAKES and LUCKY MAMA followed the next day with her first stakes placing in the LIGHT HEARTED STAKES. October figures to be an exciting month with many of the stables best horses set to make comeback efforts after resting at the farm. The action starts tomorrow at Delaware Park in Race 1, MOSTLY PEACE is the 1 horse and post time is at 12:45 EST. GEEFOUR, the stakes placed Pennsylvania bred is making a comeback after several months of rest. He is racing at PHILADELPHIA PARK in Race 5, post time is 2:04 EST and he is the 2 horse. MOSTLY PEACE can be seen on HRTV and http://espn.go.com/horse/liveracing07.html . GEEFOUR can be seen at TVG and www.philadelphiapark.com . “ELITE STABLES scores 3 victories in August. September outlook is Bright!”September 1, 2008 - Las Vegas, NV - ELITE STABLES and partners put together another successful month in August, scoring 3 wins and 2 second place finishes in the Mid-Atlantic circuit. September looks to be even better with many of the stables top runners scheduled to return from some much needed time off. August brought much success but was not without a couple of freak accidents. VIRGIN, 2YO filly by PURE PRIZE, was all set to break her maiden at DEL MAR when she saw herself on the big screen in the paddock. She jumped up, fell over and knocked a tooth out. A second later, like nothing happened, she got up and wanted to go to the track. Unfortunately, for her and all of those that battled the Friday night traffic to see her run, she was scratched from the race as a precaution. Besides losing her tooth, she is fine and is preparing for the FAIRPLEX meet where she figures to score a victory in her first attempt. ACINONYX, 4YO stakes placed filly, was racing at PHILADELPHIA PARK on the last day of August and was gearing up to make a huge move to win what seemed to be an easy race when she was clipped by another horse and pulled up. She was rushed to the NEW BOLTON equine medical center where she was treated for an injury that will end her racing career. She has already been entered and accepted at the prestigious KEENELAND sale in November. With her elite status earned during her racing career, there is a good chance she will bring more than her original purchase price at auction. If the amount is not to our liking then she will enter our breeding program where she figures to have a very successful career. Here are the highlights from August:

ELITE STABLES Releases June Outlook/May ReviewNationwide Thoroughbred Consulting, Breeding and High Percentage Racing Stable announces June 2008 Outlook and May Highlights Las Vegas, NV- June 6, 2008 -- ELITE STABLES runners finished in the money in 11 of 17 starts in May and the stable wasted little time in getting off to a fast start this month when stakes placed filly, SWEET ROSEMAN prevailed for the second straight race by winning June 1 at Hollywood Park. Other highlights include ACINONYX earning black type on the undercard of the Preakness Stakes and ELITE WILDCAT breaking his maiden on turf.
ACINONYX will be competing in a stakes race on the same day as the Belmont Stakes. Once again her accomplishments will be overshadowed by Triple Crown contender BIG BROWN. HADAVISION is sitting on a race and is eager to improve her stakes form with another triumph. LUCKY MAMA, recently claimed from Bob Baffert, the two-time Kentucky Derby winning trainer, is looking to repeat her dominant winning form on June 8th at Hollywood Park. Also, Elite is proud to announce that the May 15-17 party at the Preakness in Maryland, as well as other endeavors on the East Coast, are being sponsored by www.youfellowship.com, while the West Coast sector of the stable is being sponsored by American Dental Organization.

ELITE STABLES Announces May 2008 Outlook, to Race on Preakness Stakes DayNationwide Thoroughbred Consulting, Breeding and High Percentage Racing Stable announces May 2008 Outlook. Highlights include Preakness Weekend Party at Pimlico in Baltimore and live runners at Hollywood Park and Golden Gate Fields. Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) May 7, 2008 -- ELITE STABLES (www.elitestables.com), the nationwide Thoroughbred consulting, breeding and high percentage racing stable, announced the May 2008 Outlook. Included are the East Coast, Louisiana, Los Angeles and San Francisco Outlook along with the Louisiana Breeding Program. According to ELITE STABLES' Director of Racing Operations Gary Sadowski: News from the YouFellowship (www.youfellowship.com) sponsored ELITE Racing Operation in the Bay Area, CA is great. REAL SKY, a recent claim that won easy the day ELITE claimed her is pointing for a race at the next level that she will be likely to win and get claimed and possibly insure another positive ROI claim. The filly, GONE CALIFORNIAN, has the same story as REAL SKY – she won easy the day ELITE claimed her and will be hard to beat while climbing the class ladder. LAW BREAKER, a recent claim at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, CA from Bob Baffert, finished a hard trying 4th last out. LAW BREAKER needs a class relief to find the winners circle and he is on schedule for a May effort. The East Coast Operation is focused on the Preakness for the month of May. ELITE will be bringing 3 year old stakes winning filly, HADAVISION, to Baltimore to compete in the Grade 3 Miss Preakness Stakes on Friday the 16th. HADAVISION recently won the $100,000 Peach Blossom Stakes at Delaware Park, not bad for a $30,000 Churchill Downs claim by ELITE – just another example of Elite’s ability to find talent without breaking the bank. HADAVISION has three victories over three different tracks in five lifetime starts. The well traveled filly has made starts at Del Mar, California, Churchill Downs, Presque Isle (Pennsylvania) and Delaware Park. The 4 year old filly ACINONYX, who drew off by 12 lengths the day ELITE claimed her for $12,500, is pointed for the Skipat Stakes that follow the Preakness Stakes. TOCQUEVILLE, the $15,000 ELITE claim who went on to start in the Claiming Crown at Ellis Park in Kentucky and later win a $40,000 Claiming Race and two Allowance races, will attempt on 5/17 to break the 3rd Allowance condition on the turf. Three other horses, ELITE WILDCAT, OUT OF MY WAY and CEE MY TIZZY RUN, are pointing for races between May 15th and May 17th at Pimlico for ELITE STABLES. GEEFOUR, a $25,000 claim that ELITE advised a client to buy for $25,000 and has won over $100,000 in just over six months, is getting the summer off and will be ready to continue cashing checks around Christmas. The information from the American Dental Organization (www.americandentalorganization.net) sponsored ELITE STABLES Racing Operation/New Orleans, Louisiana is very positive. LATIN LOUIE came out of his 4th place finish in an April Allowance race feeling good; the effort was really great considering he had the misfortune of a bad trip and he was claimed for only $6,250. LATIN LOUIE is pointing for a May race and will be one of the choices; if he wins then it will be just another example of high profit investment by ELITE STABLES. BALLOON KNOT is on target for a May race and is well rested. JATHAN TYLER, another cheap claimer to run well at twice his purchase price is coming off an April $10,000 claiming 2nd place effort (not bad for a $5,000 claim) and is on target for a May race. MARATHON MOM, the classy filly that was purchased privately, is really showing her class and gearing up for a Summer of Stakes Races. The only bad news is TIMEOUTCOLBY, who was claimed for $12,500 and finished 2nd in his April Race. But it’s not all that bad because he was bought by ELITE for only $10,000 and he cashed a check – yet another good investment by ELITE STABLES. The Outlook for May at Hollywood Park is wonderful. SWEET ROSEMAN, the stakes placed 3 year old filly that ELITE claimed for $20,000, is doing great and will be tough to beat in her upcoming May Race. HOME OF THE GOLD, an expensive Keeneland Yearling purchase that ELITE recently claimed, has run three tough races and will not race in May; ELITE thinks it’s a good idea to give the youngster a break until the Del Mar meet. The horse for Argentina named TOLNAI is a great example of an ELITE claiming winner and will be tough to beat in his May race, he is sure to be another rock solid investment. GENTLEMEN, the center of the ELITE Louisiana breeding program, was a late 2007 purchase and has covered over 40 mares thus far, which is a major increase over 2006 and 2007. GENTLEMEN’s first Louisiana foal is doing great. About ELITE STABLES, LLC: Contact:
