Another winless weekend left Otsego Farms with a overall year-to-date record of just 17-1-4-3. During game-weeks 7 & 8 we sent five racers to post and came limping home at 5-0-1-1.
Kid Flash went off at 6-1 in the Shannon Stakes and finished a very disappointing 5th. He has been a very consistent on-the-board finisher in the past 2 years, so we are always surprised when he finishes out of the money. The Kid did turn in a respectable 99 PSR however.
Candle of Life finished 4th in a 8.5 furlong Allowance. The oddsmakers did not think much of Candle, sending him off at steep 13-1 odds. A win wasn't in the cards, but a 3rd place finish looked probable as Candle charged, but the jockey chose to ignore an open lane, instead moving behind another horse. His PSR was 89.
Our 5yo mare, Affirm Gal finished 3rd in the Buena Vista Handicap behind dead-heat finishers Annibynnol Meth and Wishings Wells. Affirm Gal sparkled with a 98 PSR.
Sitio Estrategico finished 6th in the 12 furlong Colin Stephens Quality Handicap. It's the third straight poor race by Sitio, so a change in tactics may be in order. PSR was a very ordinary 74.
Confederation just missed a second straight win by finishing second by a neck in the 8 furlong George Main Stakes. The winner, Private Ensign out of Eureka Racing Stables, was carrying only 107 lbs and just plain outkicked Confederation, who was carrying 127 lbs, at the wire. Confederation had a sterling 101 PSR and now has a season record of 2-1-1-0 with earnings of $147,500.
