A good loss anyway. It was a spectacular run, truly magnificent—one more stride and she would have had him. What a splendid girl.
But the important thing is that she finished sound! Surely that is all that’s truly important. I didn’t want to see one more horse leave the track in an ambulance. Tomorrow she’s going to get back on that amazing van and go someplace to relax and fatten up until breeding season starts. Then she’ll meet her first babydaddy, probably in the neighborhood of Churchill Downs. And she’ll live happily ever after.
She is quite special. Hope they get the right cross.
Exactly.
