Not a stellar outing

Disappointment....4th place. She started fine took a quick lead and then settled back of couple of lengths behind the leader. Perfect position for her. Things started going wonky down the backstretch though as she dropped to second last place in a matter of seconds. She rallied somewhat down the stretch and finished fourth trailing the winner 7.5 lengths.

Why did she drop so quickly ? We're still waiting for a final analysis but it seems she had some congestion in her lungs and may have suffered some sort of heat stroke. As well we may have run her a bit too quickly after her last race, 2 weeks was perhaps not enough time.

The plan is to rest her for a month and then run her out of Monmouth Park ( New Jersey) in some long distance races ( 1 mile plus) .

Oh but don't despair, we are staying positive. In that race she ran against horses that have made over $100,000 and we know she can race with them. We learned a few things and have a good idea what sort of races she should be entering. She just turned three and it's early April , lots of racing still to be done .

No one said this would be easy...
