Racing How'd You Do?

Wow! ;D

2yo [color=red]Winter Queen won Gr. 2 Sorrento Stakes, her first stakes entry. There were two other unbeaten fillies in this race, both with four wins in four starts, exactly like our filly; I thought that they will be first and second, but Winter Queen was the one to remain unbeaten. I’m so proud!

3yo [color=red]Ch. Iyaiyai won an open allowance, after a few not so good races. Great to see her in the winner’s circle again.

2yo [color=red]A Sweet Melody won NW2 for fillies, in which [color=red]Lointaine finished 3rd.

Only disappointment was [color=blue]NCh. Al Mundhir who finished 8th/9 in open allowance.
