Ripley, Kismet is such a good filly Rips, don't get me wrong! I don't think anything is wrong with her, she was just a bit pressed for time by the boys this time out. I felt like they were a bit stronger in this field, and I think if she sticks to F/M or smaller fields only until she gets those wins I think she'll be unstoppable after that.

FTH Juvenile Turf - 9 furlongs Grade 5+
WIN Genuine Risk
PLACE Silent Front
SHOW Mr. Wild

While he was a far-reaching second favorite to Silent Front, Genuine Risk struck the lead and with a shocking show of stamina, kept it, against a filly trying very hard to close.

FTH Juvenile Dirt Classic - 11 furlongs Grade 5+
WIN Black Thriller
PLACE Cascabel
SHOW Soaring Passion
fourth Fabled Dreams

Black Thriller was sick of coming in second, and showed his class once more in this very tough field. Fabled Dreams is fantastic, and just found herself up against a very tough field. She's good enough that she could beat them all the next time out.

FTH Juvenile Dirt Sprint - 6 furlongs Grade 5+
WIN: Toss Up (whisker)
PLACE: Gambling Fortune
SHOW: Game Over
4th: Dauntless
5th: Mistweaver

This race had a lot of closers and multiple styles within the race. Every horse deserves the win but only one could. Toss Up only beat Gambling Fortune by a whisker due to him pacing back towards the lead. I hated placing the last two where they were but they will fight back the next time around.

Sammy, do you have any additional feedback for Dauntless? She's done excellent over this distance and surface and I was expecting at least a top three finish. Le sigh XD

[Sammy]

Frosty, Dauntless is doing nothing wrong with a massive field it was a back and forth decision. I never wanted to place her out of the money Game Over caught her off guard at least close to the end.

Stuff like this almost makes me miss dead heats. Almost XD Thanks Sammy.

FTH Juvenile Dirt - 9 furlongs Grade 5+
WIN Wild Tide (nose)
place Luna De Soltera (neck)
show Miss Magic (nose)
4th Tuff E' Nuff

What a tight group of horses. I think that today was undeniably Wild Tide's. She's been building that back class to hold off a very classy Luna. Miss Magic was also full of talent, but today, talent wouldn't be enough to carry her to a win with more experienced and determined horses gunning for a win. It was enough for her to nose out Tuff E' Nuff who was facing a tough crowd and has shown building class too. I think he will break out big for you soon Sammy. Today the cards just weren't in his favor. Any horse could have taken this though. What a great group of drt runners.
