Happy and Vermillion....
I was at the Breeders Cup this weekend, it was an extremely loud place as she uncorked her run at the 1/8th pole.
While it's easy to "blame" the rider, why is it not the trainers fault? It was fairly obvious going by the wire the first time she was not "into the race," so to speak, and the feelng in our box was that had they brought the mare in a week earlier, worked her early in the am under the lights, perhaps in company getting some dirt in her face, she would have been much better prepared for what she faced Saturday night, would not have fallen so far back, and probably would have won.
So, as this great horse race pertains to NOT, had we been better prepared for the ride we would have sold at a higher price and been much happier. lol
P.S. I did manage to catch a .10 super and .50 cent tri in the F & M turf with Shared Account at 46-1! Giddyup!
