Ward Firster Impressive At Kee

randallscott35 · #1 10-10-2010, 03:04 PM

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.

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

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.

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.
