That looked like a smart talented well-prepped runner!!!!
Thought the jock rode him perfectly and the will of the runner handled the rest!!!
Very impressive—hope u r in on that one hooper
And 14-1 eased a lot of my pain from yesterday— I couldn’t believe final price
Check out the superfecta

Magnificent! Watched the race, then walked the dog and almost forgot to post.

A pleasant surprise.
My brother was at Gulfstream with some partners and half of them didn't bet her. Not him!
Nice to get some credits instead of debits after a year.

Impressive win Hoop! Good to know she can handle "vacant lot", "plowed field", or whatever they were calling the turf condition at GP. That was some fugly ground.

TW, the usual condition this time of year at GP.
Wonder what we'll see from the Churchill turf this year. The AQU turf looked nice last week.

So happy for you and your filly!
Recouping some expenses, but most of all, you certainly provided the very best and upmost care for her, getting her ship-shape to be a racehorse,....and it paid off!
I couldn't be happier.

My brother was at Gulfstream with some partners and half of them didn't bet her. That's funny, too. Great story. I'm the kind of person who if someone I get talking to has a horse in a race, I put a $2 win bet on them just to offer them some Racing Luck...put the good vibe out there. I'm superstituious that way. If it was a sibling, I would definitely back the horse just out of......familial loyalty  |

I couldn't be happier. Yes she got the best care this winter at what I jokingly call the Pletcher Resort. No discounts through Priceline there! |

Came out of her win with some inflammation in left hind. Bramlage treated her and inspected her again yesterday. 6-8 more weeks of paddock at Margeaux Farm. Prognosis is good but just takes time. www.margauxfarm.com |

Looks like she'll be comfortable in her temporary digs. Hope that when she come back she gets you in the Winner's circle !

You learn pretty quick that there is no shortcut. You are smart and a quick learn because you listen. (listen to your horse). I remember Jack van Berg's dad telling him something he said he always remembered: " 'If you don't give them time, they'll make you take time.' " |

I would have thought you might get more, based of the pedigree and very impressive win……still she hasn’t raced since and has probably cost $$$ since…
Congratulations on being out of it!
