Rough day for our crew on the whole, BUT Powerful Soul did manage to grab his last stakes placing for stud qualification! This does break his 9-win streak, but it was bound to happen eventually. Aria, Royal Minute, and Pepper Road are likely to be retired soon, but I want to take a good look at all their stats before I call it for them.
