More 2YO’s and unraced 3YO’s out today and pretty much they finished where we expected them to. Hopefully they’ll all do better next time out with a little experience under their belts.
We were especially pleased with Curious Drama’s win, his 4th in 8 races, and his first SW. He’ll head to Pimlico for the Preakness next (the Derby is only 10 days away so it’ll be too soon for him). We were also thrilled with sorBet’s performance. His 1st race in over two years and he was beaten only by a Nose. He needs one more SW of any grade to be Stud-Qualified.
