A surprisingly nice day for us. Three went out and came back with a win and a place.

[color=blue]The Iron Crown broke his maiden at first asking, in a 6f dirt maiden for 2YOs. His older half-sister [color=red]Quorra finished fifth in a 6.5f dirt NW3 for 4YO+. Their big ol’ dam [color=red]Glory’s Jewel has now produced 100% winners from 100% starters.

[color=red]IrresistibleZephyr ran a nice second in the 7f Ungr. Real Good Deal Stakes for 3YOs. Only ran her because that Del Mar’s only offering stakes races right now and she really needed to run. Still a maiden but now a stakes-placed one.

I know what you mean. The first month or so, my 2yo’s were running quite well, now all of a sudden, they are running poorly. Oh well, this is the joy of horse racing.
