Two year old colt Crossbones started off slow, came on strong, and got nipped at the wire.
That exact scenario was endured a dozen times by his sire Nightwing, who had a marked propensity for slow starts and lackadaisical finishes. Crossbones ran a nice race, but just didn't maintain concentration at the finish, getting edged by the filly Bravy's Lass.
Another 2yo, filly House of M also finished 2nd this week. She was frightfully blocked, but had enough strength to roar out of the crowd to hit the board, 9 lengths behind Golden Acres' Character.
These encouraging showings, plus the positive races by the 2yo filly Nebula, have given us some hope for the rest of the year and next season. Our fourth 2yo, War Hammer, has yet to make his racing debut.
The other two racers this week, Shatterstar and Ultron, both disappointed with off the board finishes.
