Racing How'd You Do?

Some disappointments, some surprises, so I guess they balance each other out. Lol.

Fourths:
Ch. Chasing Gold (6yo, Witness) in the Lymerick Breeders’ Stakes (Gr. 3) - Retired to broodmare duties. She’s getting older and has been floundering a bit the last couple outings. Was gonna retire her for next year anyway. Figured this was a good time to do it.

Fifths:
GCh. Quirky Scent (5yo, Prince Of Wonder) in the Cigar Mile (Gr. 1) - He’s only 1 win of any grade away from stud qualification. Trying to figure out what trick will get him across that last finish line. Lol.

Sunstep (2yo, Calle de Oro) 6th in the Demand To Know Breeders’ Stakes (Gr. 3)

@Firefly For Quirky Scent, I say train nonstop between now and a January race.

Mixed bunch from us. I knew I shouldn’t have entered Cork and Lord of Misrule. Overall, 14 of 21 in the top 3! Most of the older mares continue to do well, which is a relief because there’s almost thirty 5-6yo mares I will definitely be keeping for the broodmare band, but I don’t want them all retiring at once, haha.

Shout-out to @rainee with Formula One’s BS win! Guess I should never have sold her. But then she probably wouldn’t have run straight for me. Extra shout out to @JohnGant and @Joe over Kemistree and Sawbones becoming stud qualified.
