November 14, 2004 By Kimberly Rinker Post 1--ARTIOLOGY Trainer: Tom Harmer "Artiology is a nice colt," Tony Morgan noted of Artiology's fourth-place finish in the Windy City elimination. "Tom (trainer Harmer) has done a lot of work on this horse in terms of rigging to get him to where he is right now. I always thought this colt had a lot of talent, but it was getting him to use in the right way that is the key. This past week he was still making some rigging changes with him. The one thing about this colt is that he always gets home well and with the right kind of trip I see him doing pretty well in the final." *Third in WCP elim* This son of Ball And Chain is the sixth foal of the dam Tarport Herald, who earlier had a pair of sub 1:52 pacers, including her two previous offsprings that earned over $300,000, and yet this bay colt ended up as a $6,000 bargain buy at the 2002 Adios (PA) Sale for Country Boy’s Stable. A four-time winner in 13 freshman starts, he notched his maiden win in 1:58.2 at The Meadows and lowered it to 1:53.4 in a conditioned pace at Colonial Downs. As a three-year-old lowered his mark to 1:55.2 in Woodbine’s Count B Series in his second season outing in January. Went to the Meadowlands and posted back-to-back February triumphs in legs of the Junior and Senior Trendsetter Series. Finished second, beaten a half-length in Pennsylvania Sire Stake at the Meadows in May. He was sidelined for four months before racing at Mohawk. He then shifted to Harrington before coming to Chicago. "I was happy with the way my horse raced in the final tonight," Pat Berry said. I took a shot at Georgia Pacific and if I'd stayed in the two-hole I would have been second, but I really wanted to give this horse a chance. I'm happy with the draw and will be looking for a similar effort out of him in the final." A bay son of Western Hanover who sold for $32,000 at the Tattersalls 2002 Yearling Sale to Randall Bendis, Susan Castelli, John F. Campbell and William Varney. In his first season he won his Pennsylvania All Stars in 1:53, a national season’s record for a two-year-old pacing gelding on a five-eighths-mile track. Finished second in the Pennsylvania Sires Stakes Final. At three, raced wide throughout in his Berry’s Creek Final fourth place finish. Paced to a stakes record of 1:49.4 in a Burlington division. Won his North America Cup elimination. Never saw the wood in finishing fifth in the Final. Also was fifth in the American National Final. Again picked up the final check in the Meadowlands Pace Final. Lowered his mark to 1:49.1 in an Oliver Wendell Holmes split. Went wire-to-wire winner in his Delvin Miller Adios elimination. Led from the half-mile maker in the Adios Final before passed in the lane by Timesareachanging, finishing two lengths back. Took second in his Jug Preview division. Won Windy City Pace elim in 1:52.1. "Randy (traine Bendis) told me to race the horse the way I saw fit,"driver Andy Miller said of his colt's performance in the Windy City elimination. "I just let him float out of there and it really wasn't a problem for him to get to the top. He's a very classy horse to drive and has a lot of gears to him. He dug in when those horses came at him near the wire. He's just all racehorse and really a nice horse to drive." "Live Out Loud is an ultra-consistent horse who can pace pretty fast," driver Dale Hiteman said. "He really likes Maywood and his strong point is that he is just as fast here as he is at Balmoral. The size of the track really doesn't matter to him. I wasn't surprised at all by his effort in the elimination." This bay son of Western Hanover was purchased in a private sale by Perfect World Enterprises (David and Terry Brooks) of Old Westbury, NY on Nov. 21, 2003 and joined the Brett Pelling Stable. As a freshman, he gained his maiden win in 1:58 at Freehold. Took second in the Nassagaweya division. Lowered his season’s mark to 1:54.2 at Mohawk.

Lowered his season’s mark to 1:52.3 with a nose triumph in a Springfield Review Stake split. Finished second in a Fox Stake division. Won his Kentucky Sires Stakes elimination but was scratched sick from the Kentucky Sires Stakes Final. Finished second in his Abe Lincoln division.

Finished second in the Motor City Pace elimination and again in Hazel Park Final behind Quik Pulse Mindale, just a neck back in the championship. Grabbed the place check in the Kentucky Sires Stakes Final. Post 7--FOX VALLEY GALLANT *Fifth in WCP Elim* Lemont, IL owner James Jesk bought the bay son of Sportsmaster for $21,000 at the 2002 Walker Standardbred Yearling Sale.
