Great day! Hudson River came close to a perfect year, but he ends his run at four consecutive stakes wins with a solid second place today. Fingers crossed he can keep his form in his four-year-old season and we might just be looking at a stallion prospect. Meanwhile his full sister City of Albany showed she’s not quite ready for stakes yet, finishing at the bottom of the barrel today, lol.
