THE DARK SUNRISE DISTAFF* - 10F- 2YO-FILLIES-OPEN
Win. Authentic Aura
Place. Exotic Dancer
Show. Kallisto
Fourth. Lasheeva
Fifth. Insolence

[Ripley]

INTERNATIONAL STAKES* - 9F - 4yo+ Open
Win. Great Revenge
Place. Spitterfly
Show. Dancing On Nails
Fourth. Final Conquest
Fifth. Ground Zero
Sixth. Celestia


Dancing On Nails: I do think he will be able to stretch out, but today he was pressing a classy horse in Great Revenge who had more racing under his belt at this time. He does seem to be rounding into form though so it won't be long before he's back in the winner's circle.

Final Conquest: I think he belongs in the HOTY category now, but a win on his record would have given me more of the impression that he has confidence to face this group.

Ground Zero and Celestia: I would suggest returning them to the undercard ranks until they at least hit 12 wins. They both need confidence to take on this level of competition.

ALL ALONG STAKES* 9.5F - 3YO F PREP FOR TURF TRIPLE TIARA[/u]
WIN: Enchanting Soldier
PLACE: Kismet
SHOW: Celebrity
4th: Catastrophic

[Cruisey]

WEST VIRGINIA DERBY*
WIN Eternally Smoldering
PLACE Laddie Luck
SHOW Breaking Point
fourth Incineration
fifth Shuttershock

Shuttershock: Was way under-classed here with only two wins to his name. I think you should build his record more and get more wins before facing this kind of class again.

Incineration: Great filly you have there CC and brave of you to take on these monster colts! She was just caught up at the end from these three colts but she should do extremely well once she has more experience against them. 

[Ripley]

Jumping the Gun Stakes - 9F - G4
Win. Fantasy Island
Place. Eavesdropper
Show. Get Loose
Fourth. Superb Curiosity
Fifth. Genuine Risk



Genuine Risk: The biggest problem for him is that he wasn't campaigned after September Wk 2 as a juvenile. I think he should be entered only at BSD in the 3yo only/grade restricted races. He's a talented colt, but against these older animals, he had no shot.

Intrepid Running Stakes - 9F - G5
Win. Eulogy Rise
Place. Kindly Enough
Show. Maleficent

[Ripley]

Fusionelle Derby - 9F - G2
Win. Monarch's Journey (7 lengths)
Place. Heart Of Rio
Show. Silent Heart
Fourth. Whispering Melody
Fifth. Flashing The Declaration


Monarch's Journey gave the other horses a thrashing, easily stalking the pace set by Flashing The Declaration and Silent Heart. He pulled even with them on the turn and bounded away quite easily with only a tap to remind him to going onward.

Heart Of Rio: She's out of shape having not raced since July last year. If there are races missing off her record, you might want to find them Sammy. The lack of racing is really going against her. I imagine as she is six, she'll need stout campaigning to keep her in peak form.

Whispering Melody: I feel like she wants to run longer than 9F. She didn't really stand out in the field over the dirt at the distance.

Flashing The Declaration: I've always gotten the feeling that this one wants to run shorter distances.

[Rendezvous]

Holly do you want to run Bulletproof over at BSD in the Bowl of Flowers Stakes? Since Shady Biscuit is entered twice and if he scratches from either race that will leave 1 horse (Bulletproof or Key West) without a race.

or Ripley, do you want to switch Key West?

[Holly]

Thats fine with me

Fusion Stakes
WIN Tiger Heart
PLACE A True Hero
SHOW Coveted Faith
fourth Santana's Legend
fifth Just A Song

[Cruisey]

THE TEST OF PASSIONATE CLASS*
WIN Rising Wonder
PLACE Wings of Angels
SHOW Classy Lady
fourth Pure Innocence
fifth Passionist
sixth In My Remains

In My Remains: I hated placing him here and don't think I did it intentionally lol. He was forced off the pace by Rising Wonder and Passionist and got shuffled around real hard here in this field. I do think he will bounce back from this loss it was just unfortunate how he got jostled about.

Passionist: He took the early lead and just unfortunately ran out of gas at the end. The top three have a little bit more racing exposure under their belt and were able to handle themselves a bit nicer. Nothing wrong with him, in fact I think he's definitely one to watch this season alongside In My Remains.

Pure Innocence: Just got caught up in the middle of the field and was bustled around too much for her liking. I know she likes to have horses crowding her but this time around she lost her confidence going into the final turn which made her back off the lead just slightly because she couldn't see any open space.

Cruisey,Kenren,Sammy :Coveted Faith ran twice in week two because it was supposed to be All That Jazz in the Fusion Stakes, not Faith.. I'll use Faith's earlier posted result at GHF so Santana's Legend and Just A Song should move up in their placings of the Fusion Stakes.
