Well, it was great fun to see a bunch of fellow DeeTee'rs - a beautiful fall day at CD.
She broke really well, and was traveling freely in good stride. I guess I figure it was only a 6f race, I'm not sure where exactly the jock was supposed to haul back on her to tuck her in
(as it took halfway down the back stretch to realize that nobody of the multiples inside of her were going to take back and leave her sitting pretty, alone, 2-3 wide just off a leader).
I see it as just the way the race unfolded, no, didn't help our horse. He had horse through the turn, and she quit at the head of the stretch. JMHO.
Went back to the barn to see her afterwards, and by that time she was washed, poulticed, shipping wraps and sheet on, just waiting for the trip home. She was in the back of the stall nibbling on hay, and she was not very interested in talking about it, nor in being social and getting some pets.
It's horse racing - guess we have to live for "NEXT time" ....
Hey, here's some good news - Paula Simon said SWLY is doing great out at the farm on the comeback trail
