Y13 YOUTH CHALLENGE

Gallop To The Gallows Stakes

Hello and welcome to the second leg of the Youth Challenge here at The Wire. We saw Limited Edition capture the first leg in the Just A Trot Futurity over nine furlongs and in perfect conditions. Will he be able to win over a muddy track today? It's rained for the last few days and the track is sloppy. The temperature is 50 degrees and it has not dried this track out at all even though the rain has halted on this day. For those of you who have stuck with us, we welcome you to the main two year old event at The Wire and are sure that you will be treated to a grand race.

<sub>Y13 GALLOP TO THE GALLOWS STAKES* - 10F - D
WIN Headstrong
PLACE Supernatural & Limited Edition
SHOW Battle Wings (whisker)
4TH Fly By Darkness

This was a hard race and any could have taken this win. These horses were all equally matched, but this is how I saw it playing out in my head. Headstrong took the lead as did Battle Wings, but she didn't have quite as much stamina in the closing and Wings couldn't hold off the closing Limited Edition and Supernatural who had been running easily behind the two leading fillies. Supernatural whizzed up into the fallen Wing's place to avoid being blocked behind Headstrong, but this hindered Limited Edition's closing and the two tied for second. Wings barely managed to hold off Fly in the last second. Legitimately anyone could have taken this race, but Headstrong really shone out there for me. Congrats Snowy and everyone who competed!</sub>
