Sent out a few (very fat) ponies today, with mixed results:
3YO [color=red]Demand Drama finished 7th/10 in her SC NW1. She continues to run just the same as she did on the flat…at the back of the pack. She’s got me baffled - gorgeous, 17.1hh, yet unwilling (unable?) to run.
3YO [color=red]Isobella’s Sea (x Seabiscuit) won her second race of the year (from 3 starts), this time on turf. It seems she’s finally starting to figure this racing thing out… On a bad note, though, she has a cut now. Home to rest.
2YO [color=red]Twirlaway (x Whirlaway) made her debut, finishing 8th/9. At least she wasn’t last?
3YO [color=red]Playful Breeze (x I’m A Classic) finished 4th/6. I think she prefers the dirt, plus she probably wants rest at the farm.
2YO Stillwater lease [color=red]Evensong (x War Chant) finished 5th/6 in her debut. Again, not last…
4YO [color=red]I’m a Star, who suffered from overracing under previous owners and has been babied and perhaps over-rested by us since, pulled a nice 3rd/12 against some really nice mares. 3YO [color=red]Sheza Hornet ran 7th/12 in the same race. Hmm.
4YO [color=green]Heroic Acts ran a dutiful 4th/6. He’s ready to come home to the farm.
2YO [color=blue]O Lordy ran 13th/14 in his debut race. I’m beginning to wonder where they’re getting their racing advice…
4YO [color=blue]Gotta Have Faith just didn’t even try. 9th/10 and he made his point; he’s headed home.
3YO [color=green]Fly Away and 4YO [color=green]Premiere Night ran 4th and 11th/11 in their race, respectively.
And last but not least, the reliable 3YO [color=red]Bold Jewel (x Bold Ruler) made her stakes debut, finishing a solid 4th/14 in the ungraded Estrapade Handicap with a high SF. I’m not at all displeased.
