Yes, I guess you can put Lucky in with the Grade 3 race. I don't think he'll do well but maybe the experience against older horses will help him.

Zelotypia Stakes

WIN Bowen Arrow [neck]
PLACE Apollo Bear
show Lookin' Back Lucky

Bowen Arrow showed a strong performance today, coming off a 3 race win streak and he wanted to keep the ball rolling. Apollo Bear and Lookin Back Lucky stuck with him and put up a very big fight, closing the gap to only a length. In the end, Bow won by a neck with Apollo Bear breathing down his neck and Lookin Back Lucky attached to his flank.

Ohio Juvenile Stakes

Place. Vengeance

Ummmm...I had Blazing Kiss entered in the Zelotypia Stakes. She was Gate Two when I put in my entries. Is there a reason she was removed? I just noticed this lol. Plus I had Special Edition entered in the Xelonno Derby

[Kenren]

It looks like you and Ripley posted at like exactly the same time and she must not have noticed that your post went in first. It happens. Make sure you always check the finalized list and make sure your horses are in.

PRINCE HENRY STAKES
WIN Sun King
Place Speak Easy
Show Fleet Street
4th Noah's Radiance

This race was a little difficult to judge because everyone was a stalker. No one wanted to lead, and after a slow start Sun King and Fleet Street found themselves leading together. Noah's Radiance and Speak Easy were slower to get going but by the stretch it was anyone's race. Noah's Radiance doesn't have a race record on page but that wasn't the reason behind his loss. He just didn't seem very competitive to me when it came down to it and the others were able to stay ahead.

Ontario Lassy Stakes
win Taboo
place Siren Call
show Spitterfly
fourth Hot Looks

Not an easy race to decide, especially between third and fourth.

Black Caviar Stakes
win National Treasure
place Stalking The Stars
show Wishing For A Heroine
fourth Fly By Darkness

I would recommend getting in a workout for Fly when you can - she needs a second one for this year to make her a bit stronger against the rest and to call some more attention to her.

[Snowflake]

Further feedback on my two please?

[S u N f r O s T ~]

Hot Looks - I had her all the way between second and fourth in this race and eventually just had to go with fourth place. I like her attitude. Taboo was essentially built for this race - she strikes me as a fantastic miler type and that definitely helped her here. Siren Call, with three wins, was a strong competitor, and so was Spitterfly. Facing this competition, Hot Looks was not quite overmatched, but she was definitely facing some tough foes. I really don't have much to say about her placement other than it was just how it went today.

Fly By Darkness - Trying the turf with her was an interesting move. National Treasure had some pep in her step and was ready to take this today. Stalking The Stars stood out to me over Wishing For A Heroine. In all honesty, I did look to see recency of workouts in this race when deciding how ready horses were for it. Fly did not have a recent workout to up her a little bit more. I nearly had her winning the race when I saw that she had been knocking at the door for a while and would be going in hungry, but I couldn't justify her placement against the horses with more recent works. She is a good filly - she just needs one more workout to stand out. The majority of competitors have two good workouts on the season by now, so having one did make it hard to justify placing her higher.
