Loyal Shadow most likely is going to scratch out of the race Thursday for a starter allowance on Friday...also with Maylan Studart up.

Any particular reason you would prefer running Friday? Both races seem to lack early speed but friday seems to point to Madrilena running loose on the lead and might be hard to catch if left alone. Thursday's race shows Rosa Salvaje with some speed, but she might hit a wall especially with a few other horses that might put some pressure on her. I see you have secured Maylan both days. She seems to get the most out of Loyal Shadow each time she rides.
Hopefully Dutrow's filly isn't allowed to waltz out in a 45 and change and Loyal Shadow gets a better setup than appears on paper.
Either way best of luck to your filly and she comes back safe.
Will be cheering you on.

Not much separates either race. Of concern, is Maylan being able to work out a closing trip from the rail on Thursday if the speed does back up. The draw on Friday is favorable and the smaller field better suits her style. At her best I think Shadow can run down even lone speed. Also, the Friday race being in open company gives me a chance for owner and breeder awards should she hit the board, so in essence she is running for a bigger purse on Friday. Thanks for the good wishes for her. I expect she will run her race.

Thanks for the reply. I do appreciate it. Even though friday's race shows a tough lone speed filly. You never know if someone might try a new tactic or a horse might just run up on the leader.
Again, best of luck.
Looking forward to the race for you.
