We decided to switch Good Idol to SC (even though both of her parents are unraced at SC!!) After very successful jump trials and placing 2nd in her very first SC ever, I’m happy with the decision. Hopefully we found this little fillys stride on the track. On the opposite end however, these 3 yo colts are driving me bonkers!
