Our 2yo’s are cooking for a little longer before we send them out, though the rest of the fleet decided to bomb anyways.

One more SW today, but this was our only win from 16 runners. Our first 2YO runners for the year resulted in 2 3rd’s and 1 4th out of 5 runners.

Finally! Pretty much all of our 140 race horses are resting up after a couple of months of poor performances. The exceptions are the 2yo’s because Australia will be closing up soon and and I really wanna know who is worth shipping out

Two wins for two entries, both 2yo’s

[color=blue]Full Metal Jacket create that will be my holy mission to get stud worthy

[color=blue]Stitch In Time by Dixie Time. Same distance and surface as the above colt but I slightly slower win time

6

Strange day. I was thinking to race a 2yo but finally didn’t; mine start on Saturday :slight_smile: well, only two of them.

I really didn’t want to add more broodmares to my herd, but yesterday I claimed [color=red]Souled Out from Suffolk Stables. She is 9yo and last time she raced four years ago! So no surprise that she came second to last… I retired her to brood and she has a date with FFCh. High Chances.

My other runner was also a recent claimer, [color=red]Fine Glass. She finished 6th/8 and stays in Australia. I hope that she’ll earn there any money before we ship her home :wink:
