really tough field but I'll judge this one guys!

Well it's a great day to be at the race track today ladies and gentlemen! Today is the 2nd annual The Wire Red Mile! It's no Kentucky Derby with only 4 entrants in it, but this field is so tough, so talented that anyone of these horses could take it!

The jockeys have mounted and are on their way out to the dirt track! Contender number one is Nature Blue's flirty Reflected In Water. She's the daughter of the newly inducted Hall Of Fame Radiance and Cry Out Chaos. She currently sits at number 2 on the Champion of the Dirt rankings with 20 points and is Number 3 overall. She's right on the edge of grade 1 and is looking to get that 13th win today! She's coming off of a impressive victory in the Everyday Memorial Stakes.

In gate two we have the only colt, Valkyrie Stable's Mourning Passion. He's the Y14 Kentucky Derby winner and has put on quite a show for everyone this season. He started at Grade 5 this year and is now newly Grade two. He's the son of Tempered Passion and Breeding Hall of Fame inductee Requiem. Mourning Passion currently is sitting 4th on the Champion of the Dirt standings and 5th on the Overall rankings. He's coming off of a victory over Allouette Divine in the Mideem Derby.

In gate three we have the favorite, Stride of Perfection's Battle Wings she's had a very impressive season this year, taking two legs of the Triple Tiara and the Cigar Red Mile. She's been running very consistently and looks to be the horse who everyone will be gunning for. She's the daughter of Akuma Battlecry and Silent Wings. She's 3rd on the Champion of the Dirt standings and tied for 4th with her stablemate In The Spotlight on the overall rankings. She's looking to bounce back after a 3rd place finish in the Everyday Memorial Stakes behind Reflected in Water.

In gate four we have Witch Creek Stables' Supernatural. She's been impressive over the distance of a mile all season. She's the daughter of Kentucky Open winner Dylan Himself and Santana Secret. She's currently tops the Champion of the Dirt rankings, and is 2nd to her stablemate Paranormal Hunter in the overall rankings. She's coming off of a narrow win over Canadian Triple Crown winners Anodyne and Italian Ice in the Risorgimento Derby.

There's the field for the Y14 Red Mile! We will be back after a short commercial break!

I kid there isn't one.

Anyyyyyyways!



ANNNND we're back! The horses have warmed up and are beginning to load into the gate. Supernatural is in and now we are all in line for the start of the 2nd annual The Wire's Red Mile!

-cue the sound of the gates opening and the crazy bell thingy-

annnnd they're off! Mourning Passion breaks sharply and sprints the the front, followed quickly by Battle wings who nearly lost her rider as she sprung from the gates, Reflected in Water and Supernatural will trail the field today! Mourning Passion lets up and allows Battle Wings to take the lead and she doesn't hesitate to take it! Reflected in Water stays at Mourning Passion's shoulder, and seems to not want to let him get any futher ahead of her. Supernatural continues the trail the field by about a length and appears perfectly content where she is. Onto the back stretch and Battle Wings went the 1/4 in 22.06, this isn't going to be a slow pace today. Mourning Passion edges up closer to Battle Wings and she appears to not want apart of him and speeds up further. Supernatural is still sitting about a length and a half behind the rest of them and still seems to be content where she is. The final turn comes quickly and Mourning Passion is eduging up closer and closer to Battle Wings, Reflected in Water has started making her move and Supernatural is now at her rump. We're into the stretch and Battle Wings digs her heels in and turns for home but Mourning Passion is baring down on her! Reflected in Water makes her bid and Supernatural is coming on from the outside with massive strides! Mourning Passion takes the lead by a nose but Reflected in Water is just a head behind him! Battle Wings continues digging in but here comes Supernatural! Supernatural joins the dual down the stretch! All four of them are across the track! Battle Wings fights from the rail Mourning Passion and Reflected in Water are bumping into eachother but nothing that seems to be bothering them! There's only one furlong left! Who will it be! The Derby winner sticks his nose out but Supernatural fights back galliantly from the outside! Battle Wings looks exhoasuted but she still keeps coming at them! Here's the Wire! Too close to call! It looked like 1st and 2nd is between Supernatural and Mourning Passion! 3rd and 4th between Battle Wings and Reflected in Water.
The final time was a blazing 1:33.41! 
A roar comes from the crowd as the stewards have put up the order of finish!

Y14 The Wire Red Mile 

Win: Supernatural (whisker) 

Place: Mourning Passion (nose) 

Show: Battle Wings (whisker) 

4th: Reflected in Water

Let me just say HOLY CRAP GUYS I NEVER WONNA JUDGE A RACE WITH THESE 4 HORSES IN IT EVER AGAIN!!! This was a incredibly hard race to judge and all of these horses deserved to win this. But someone has to win and someone has to lose. Sammy let me say it KILLS me to put Reflected in Water where she is, honestly you shouldn't look at this as a bad finish at all. This field was so incredibly difficult to judge! If anything you should be proud of her, I mean it's a last place finish and it's out of the money but she ran her heart out today and narrowly lost. 
You should all be proud of your horses! This was a great field and this years Breeders' Cup dirt mile is gonna be incredible!
