Ettore of the prolific Olmo Dorato said, "Ho visto la corsa di House of M, sono pronto a scommettere che è un futuro champion!!" Very encouraging words, because we know that man may be the best judge of talent in Photo-Finish. I certainly hope he is right. Thanks Ettore!
House of M did look solid in her debut. The HRF ratings of EX/VG matched those of her sire War Machine, and she ran a steady race.
She looked ready to stretch out but was boxed in for the majority of the race, finishing 4th in a field of 12. She'll stay exclusively on dirt, but probably won't run again at less than 8 furlongs.
Crossbones looked less impressive. He started slowly, and lagged in the back of the pack the entire race.
We'll try him on turf and at a couple different distances to see if he has any potential. With limited stall space for racers, he gets about 4-5 opportunities to show that he can compete before we give up on him.

I knew it Sir Jim it was only a matter of time before u got another good horse in House Of M
Foxie
Now let's not get premature in our expectations Foxie. I'm happy she didn't come in last, but still a 4th place finish isn't a win (like your 2yo's do).
Its hard to read this site with your new background mister!
