Racing How'd You Do?
1

All the ponies were in the money, though they all finished 3rd-5th.

Shows:
[color=blue]Baralin (3yo, Ring of Fire) in a NW3 Allowance
[color=blue]Corsiero (3yo, Brigade) in a NW1 Allowance
[color=red]Take Your Tern (3yo, TakeMeToHollywood) in a NW2 Allowance

Fourths:
[color=blue]Wales (4yo, Joyeux Oiseau) in a maiden, at least he’s finishing in the money now :slight_smile:
[color=blue]Reckless (3yo, Foolhardy) in a NW1 Allowance

Fifths:
[color=red]Golden Slippers (3yo, Golden Text) in an Allowance
[color=red]Dance Double (3yo, TakeMeToHollywood) in a NW2 Allowance
[color=blue]GCh. Quintet (5yo, Octagonal) in the San Luis Obispo Handicap (Gr. 2)

Claimed:
[color=red]Showmethemagic (6yo, Gimme A Shot) who won, despite not racing for 2 years. Shouldn’t have put in the claim, but couldn’t resist as she’s the last foal from her dam and we only have one half-sister. Will see if she wants to keep running but likely breed her this spring/summer.

The OTB % will drop after today, but at least there is a nice win.

Wins:
[color=red]Lile (3yo, Bellagio) in a maiden - she’s a homebred and we own her dam and her granddam, which is one of my favourite lines. Love Signal was terrible as a 2yo but she much improved as a 3yo, so I’m hoping that her firstborn will do the same. According to her parents, Lile should be a dirt specialist, but maybe she prefers turf after today. I also nominated her for the 2020 Fillies/Mares Steeplechase Breeder’s Series, although her parents were unraced at jumping - I must have had a vision. :stuck_out_tongue:

So you’re the one who had a good day, John! I was wondering who got all the nice finishes. :wink:

Congrats on Amulet’s stakes win, I hope she throws some nice foals for you when she’s done running.
