She's such a good girl, she just doesn't give up... She broke horribly, nearly unseated the jockey and ran 8th basically the entire race, then around the final turn she started rolling and rolled right up to 4th, if she'd had some more room she'd have gotten 3rd. She has so much heart.. Love that mare.

I guessed she must have had a bad start and then the Equibase report said she went pretty wide on the turn as well. If she could just figure out how to break and find some room inside, she'd probably do great

Wasn't she the one that was going to get a lot of time off because of bleeding? Or was that another one of yours? Or has it just been a lot longer than I think since her last race, LOL. There's so many of you guys with youngsters racing that I can't keep them straight anymore!

She bled, but she had her 5 days of antibiotics and then another 7 days I think of just training, and the vet said no reason she coudln't race. Many people run them right back (I wouldnt- but you can).
Yesterday there was no bleeding and she was PERFECT. I was very pleased. So annoyed that she didn't break though- she'd have run at least 2nd.

That's too bad, Katie. BUT the positive is that even tho she did break badly and went wide, she had enough heart and steam to go from 8 to 4. Not BAD. Next time out she'll do much better. How many times has she raced??

Oh yeah, she's got heart to spare. Wasn't unhappy with her race at all.
I think she's run 17 or 18 times??

The starter was so funny when he saw me... He said "I bet you were swearing at me... But I couldn't help it! She bounced in the air the same second I saw they could all break, she was standing so good up till then!" Typical... She's such a little brat.
