Results for Weeks 47-48

It was a pretty good week, with all five racers hitting the board.

Nebula won her second straight race at 6F.  It looks like her new pet distance, which shouldn't be a surprise since her dam Nova excelled at 6F.  Her AR and HRF stats hint at longer distances, but it looks like she may stick at sprints for awhile.  You can argue with success.

Deep Magic finished his season with a second consecutive 2nd place finish.  He showed a strong kick, even at 7F, which was his longest race of the year.  Looks like he'll be a miler as suspected.  His slowish starts are a bit of a concern, but 8F should be long enough to alleviate the poor starts.

Crossbones rebounded nicely from his last place finish in the Indiana Derby to finish 3rd in the Hollywood Derby.  He had a bad trip and didn't get any real running room until the last furlong.  He finished with a flourish and I feel he would have won had his trip been smoother.

Necromancer performed very well again.  He grabbed a 2nd place at 7.5F.  It is his 5th consecutive finish in-the-money for Otsego Farms.  In spite of his heroic performance for us, he'll get caught up in a numbers game and have to be moved at the end of the season.  

Refractor finished his 2014 season with a strong, but disappointing 2nd place finish in the Brisbane Cup.  He was beaten by 4yo Druido Supremo, for whom I have a tremendous amount of respect.  Surprisingly, Refractor, the younger horse, carried more weight.  

A record of 5-1-3-1 for the week.
