Ward Firster Impressive At Kee
 

Board said she was ready but that was a really nice effort after breaking dead last and being 6 wide.

It really was impressive on many levels. I look forward to her next start in 2012.

LOL, well, yeah that could be. Maybe we see her at GP next.

Why is it hard for people to include details in a post when they describe a nice debuter?

Her sire isn't Indian Charlie...don't worry about it.

Dancinginherdreams, Race 6 KEE. My bad.

Dude, I'm not PG1985.

I remember her 2nd dam. Decent Paulson blood.

speaking of paulsen, madeline (paulsen) pickens just bought a bunch of land in nevada for mustangs, so that they won't be held by the govt any more. good move on her part i thought. she said she's looking into buying more to move more horses.

She is single-handedly saving the wild mustangs in the West. It's quite something.

It was a wide move so that obviously needs to be factored in, and she did close nicely, but when you compare her effort to the other 6f races on the card (which were faster) is it really that impressive?

For a first start of a 2 yr old filly, I thought so, but who am I? I'll learn not to say something "positive" about the sport again.

I'm not saying it was a bad debut. It wasn't. But the fact that she ran (a bit) slower than another first-time starter (Tikkarita), a 2yo claimer (Nina Fever), and a $16k claimer (Go Patrick Go) on the same card may be significant when determining exactly how "impressive" the effort was.

Any firster on Poly needs to be taken with a grain of salt. That goes without saying actually.

In some ways, you ARE

In some ways YOU are jcs11204.

The Henny Hughes at Belmont might have been as if not more impressive. Totally dead on the board and (I think) the first Darley two-year-old winner in the U.S. this year. Should be a fig in the high 80s.

Mid 80s sounds right to me too.

Unlike the Ward horse I bet he races again.

Isn't nina fever that borrego filly who ran like her tail was on fire during the spring meet? Also ward right? I can't remember the last race I actually watched so forgive my ignorance...

It looks like it came in right around 90.

Yes and yes.

She won her debut at Kee in April by 8 lengths going 4.5f in a pretty fast time.

i'm just glad that someone with the ability to actually help is doing so.

Zenyatta was going to help but... the mountains...

No dude. When I am posting like you, it's done with, at least I thought, a not so subtle streak of mockery.

Thought that's what I saw at first asking. Could care less what the time was that day...Came back today and drowned them for fun.

The time was not that great today either but she couldn't have done it any easier.

She was visually impressive again, but crawled home. She looked better than the Iroqouis winner though.

She walked home though, the early fractions were much faster then the boys. She had everything go her way, and I was not that impressed with her finish.

I could be very wrong but how often do Ward horses string together many good races or seasons in a row? I am trying to think of many that flashed brilliant early show of speed and then did I see them the following year or years?

Is .19 seconds to the half "much faster"?

Depends which Ward you are talking about.

Nevermind...no it doesn't.
