Glyshaw Racing Stables celebrating their "Barn of the Week" Award at Churchill with owners

Unreachable Star Untouchable in Brickyard
Unreachable Star was untouchable in the 15th running of the Brickyard Stakes Sunday, Aug. 30 at Hoosier Park Racing and Casino. The five-year-old Unloosened gelding slid up the inside for jockey Rafael Hernandez and held off a game stretch drive by Father John to grab the win by a neck at the finish line.
An inside post position of two left Unreachable Star with little room to work with early. He stayed right off the front-runners down the backstretch as Solon Express and Nelson Arroyo had the early edge on the inside over Father John and Rodney Prescott and Mo Faster and Fernando De Le Cruz. Around the turn, Hernandez began to move Unreachable Star along the rail aggressively and was in perfect striking distance behind horses in the stretch.
Halfway down the stretch, Unreachable Star found the room he needed to go head to head with Father John. Both horses fought gamely to the finish, with Unreachable Star pulling out his second stakes win at Hoosier Park. Mo Faster held onto third.
Unreachable Star now has three wins in five starts for 2009. The son of Unloosened is owned by the Loosen Up Stable and trained by Tim Glyshaw, who also conditioned the horse to a win in last year’s $100,000 Gus Grissom Stakes at Hoosier Park.
“We had hoped to get another start in him at Presque Isle Downs before this, but the race didn’t fill,” said Glyshaw. “He raced up there last year until his stake race here. He likes this track and always races well here. I have to give a lot of credit to Rafael (Hernandez). He did a great job riding today and was able to get him home. I was a little concerned at first because I thought he might be too close to the front horses, but it worked out perfectly.”
Hernandez, who just completed the meet at Fairmount Park in second place, recently moved his tack to Hoosier Park. The Puerto Rico native has already accumulated eight wins in limited starts this year to move into the top 10 spots among the leading jockeys.
“I thought I needed to be closer than normal at the start because there was too much speed in here and this track favors speed,” said Hernandez. “I moved him (Unreachable Star) around the turn and just waited for a hole to open up. Once I got clear, I started riding to the finish. This horse was not intimidated in the stretch drive. It was close but I thought I’d won it. This is the first time I’ve ridden this horse and I really liked him. I appreciate the opportunity.”
Unreachable Star now has nearly $250,000 in career earnings. He was acquired by Loosen Up Stable under different circumstances.
“We actually owned his sire, Unloosened, and when he died, we tried to go out and find as many of his colts as we could,” said Loren Hebel Osborne, one of the partners of the stable. “We got lucky and he was one of them we got. He’s been a good purchase for us.”
Finding races to win
Ellis Park trainer has a knack for it
By Tim Ethridge
Sunday, August 16, 2009
HENDERSON, Ky. — While Q The Music won his second start under Tim Glyshaw at Ellis Park on Sunday, the trainer doesn't consider the 3-year-old colt one of his success stories.
That's the price Glyshaw pays for being a perfectionist.
"When you claim a horse, a lot of times you find a way to move them up a little bit," said Glyshaw, a graduate of Harrison High School (1987) and Indiana University (1992). "That's what we try to do, and for whatever reason we've done well with what are considered cheap horses.
"You spend some time with them, find little things that can help them, and move them up. Unfortunately, with this one we just really didn't find anything we could help with."
So Glyshaw did one of the things he does best, find a race to win. Owner William T. Reed paid $7,500 for the Kentucky-bred colt after a fourth-place finish in a claiming race at Churchill Downs on June 25. Q The Music's first race for Glyshaw came July 12 in a $15,000 claimer at Mountaineer Park, and the colt struggled to a fifth-place finish.
So on Sunday, he entered a $5,000 claimer and led from start to finish as the 1-to-5 favorite. Jockey Victor Lebron said he barely had to raise his whip.
"When Tim puts me on a horse, I know he's going to be ready to run," said Lebron. "He does a nice job getting a horse ready, and he does a nicer job of finding a race that fits them. That's why I like to ride for his barn."
Q The Music was only Glyshaw's seventh starter at Ellis, but he now has two wins and two thirds for an outstanding 59.1 in-the-money percentage. That's about square with his yearlong percentage, achieved at tracks ranging from Churchill to the Fair Grounds, Presque Isle to Hoosier Park, and Canterbury to Mountaineer.
His lifetime percentage, starting when he established his own operation on July 1, 2004, stands at 45.7 percent with 410 starts.
Not bad for a 40-year-old who didn't get into the business until he was 25.
Glyshaw got his education degree from IU and spent a year as a substitute at Harrison before getting a full-time job at rural Leland (Ill.) High School.
He realized along the way, he said, that teaching wasn't for him. So one Sunday afternoon he sat on the couch with his stepfather, Jim Whipkey, and vented about needing a change.
"He told me to write down things I thought I wanted to pursue, but to be realistic — don't say be an NBA player or an astronaut."
On the television, ESPN was showing a horse-racing digest — including an ad for Taylor Made Farms' internship program. So even though Glyshaw had no background with horses, other than attending races at Ellis as a teenager and helping a neighbor who showed Lippizaner stallions at circuses, he made a call.
Glyshaw spent the next year in Nicholasville, Ky., learning how to care for horses. With a recommendation from John Griffith of the HBPA, he then got a job as a hot-walker and groom for veteran trainer Bob Holthus.
"When I first got there, driving my Dodge Stealth and wearing my polo shirt, they took bets on how long I'd last," said Glyshaw. "Bob gave me the longest — a week. I stayed for seven and a half years."
So Glyshaw learned the business from the ground up, eventually leaving Holthus' barn to work as an assistant trainer for Cole Norman in the Southwest. That's where he met his wife, Natalie, a track photographer and the daughter of Louisiana's all-time leading rider, Ronald Ardoin. Natalie helps around the barn, while her husband uses his father-in-law as a sounding board for how jockeys view races.
Glyshaw broke out on his own five years ago, and has been successful ever since, especially with horses in the claiming ranks.
He claimed Ready's Rocket, currently on a rest, for $5,000 and won more than $100,000 in starter allowances. Grand Traverse, also on a sabbatical, won three races last year at Ellis Park and was second in last month's Claiming Crown at Canterbury. Most recently, Glyshaw found Win Grammy Boy at Churchill for $5,000 in the spring; Win Grammy Boy won three times and finished second while earning more than $50,000.
"Back when I worked for Bob Holthus, he told me that I was a good handicapper and that would make me a good trainer," said Glyshaw. "If you can pick the horse that could win the race, then you should be able to pick a horse that fits the race."
That certainly was the case with Q The Music on Sunday.
The colt earned $6,000 of the $10,000 purse — and, somewhat surprisingly, wasn't claimed. So Reed, the owner, makes some money, and Glyshaw looks for another race to win.
"Like I said, it looks like this probably is what he's worth," said Glyshaw. "So we'll put him back in at this level and try to take another purse and see if anyone takes him.
"I would've been disappointed if he hadn't won today, and I'm glad for my owner. But for myself, well, he went out and did what we wanted him to do. So that was just doing my job."
