She was sporting blinkers for this, she broke slowly and rushed up in the early stages only to be wrangled back by her jock. After watching the head-on view, she might be a filly that is tough to ride and she had early trouble as she was bumped multiple times from both sides in the […]
A mare who was making her third start off the layoff showed unexpected early speed and was part of a four horse duel up the backstretch. She appeared to be tiring once headed around the far turn while racing on the rail, but she gamely fought back only to be run down by perfect-tripper Carly […]
Set the pace in his last start, but was allowed to track the leaders in this spot. He likely gained a lot of experience points as he was firmly held by the jock for the first three furlongs while seemingly full of run. Entering the stretch, he still had to wait for clear sailing, but […]
Made a nice little run along the rail around the turn and looked like a win threat entering the stretch. However, the jock just seemed to settle for a minor award as he was not riding that hard in the stretch and just used the whip every 10 strides or so. Look for a rider […]
Was slow into stride and settled near the back around the first turn. He made a middle move as they approached the far turn and was right off the two leaders while in between horses. However, he started spinning his wheels around the far turn and looked like he would be up the track. The […]
Was pretty brave to finish 3rd in what not an ideal stretch run. The gelding raced on along the rail early and was in the second flight entering the stretch. The leaders began to tire and the jock took him to the rail while he was able to squeeze thru a tight opening in midstretch. […]
While the outside is usually the faster part of the track, it is tough as a frontrunner to win with a five wide trip even with no pace pressure. This gelding has now set the pace in his last four dirt routes and the best he could finish was 3rd as he did today. He […]
Runs with his tail straight out and was outrun for the early lead in the first furlong. The veteran didn’t seem comfortable racing behind a wall of horses and that seemed evident as he was shuffled to the back of the pack entering the turn. He did seem to have run entering the stretch, but […]
Received a questionable ride as she broke outward but fast and the jock seemed to insist that someone else take the lead. Eventual winner Frost Point did take the lead leaving the chute and it’s not like they were going fast early. Look for a rider switch and/or more aggressive ride on Falconet and maybe […]
Had to chase a fast pace early and was shuffled back to last up the backstretch. Jock had to steer her clear of trouble around the turn and she made a nice little run when she found clear sailing. However, the filly was too far back to threaten for the win, but did run well […]
