Race Results for Weeks 13 & 14


Our disappointing season continued with a weekly record of 8-0-0-3. We have made a decision to temporarily lower our sights regarding race grades. With very few exceptions, higher graded races will be off limits until we can string together a few victories. Union Jack and Confederation will be the only racers that we will enter in appropriate Grade One and Grade Two races.

Hopefully, our 2yo's will breathe some excitement into our stable when they start competing in another couple of months.

A breakdown of the races for this past week is given below:

Affirm Gal - 3rd Black Helen Handicap - 96 PSR
A decent run for a Show finish just a length off the lead. Still has the speed to contend.

Sitio Estrategico - 6th Queen Elizabeth Stakes - 92 PSR
Best PSR of the season but still 32 lengths back. Will retreat to Gr3 or less in future.

Candle of Life - 3rd Shenandoah Downs Allowance - 109 PSR
Highest PSR of career only good for 3rd place. Continues to perform well and has talent.

Confederation - 3rd Mackinnon Stakes - 73 PSR
Did not like the soft going. Speed was off but still managed a decent 3rd place finish.

Stowaway - 7th Dubai Golden Shaheen - 102 PSR
Showed speed but was outclassed in this high profile sprint.

Kid Flash - 4th Salinger Stakes - 101 PSR
Ventured into Gr1 for first time and ran well but couldn't hit the board.

Big Slick - 6th United Emirates Derby - 74 PSR
Perhaps not as talented as we expected. Now winless in 9 career starts.

Chancellorsville - 6th Flamingo Stakes - 65 PSR
Looked completely uninterested. Will take some time off to reevaluate.
