Ouch! :-( My understanding has always been that it's an automatic DQ and not a judgment call when a rider hits another horse with his whip.<BR/><BR/>(Oh man, I just saw that he was 23-1....yikes!!!)Alan Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570505944559196118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1164462790675408732006-11-25T08:53:00.000-05:002006-11-25T08:53:00.000-05:00Impressive debut, in this case (unlike the Highlan...Impressive debut, in this case (unlike the Highland Cat discussion last summer) I feel the step up in class is definately warranted. She should handle the stretch out based on style, and City Zip has not been a pure sprint sire as I would have expected.<BR/><BR/>Congrats, I was excited for you when she started rolling, but alas was not wagering yesterday except on the feature, where my Rahy's Appeal was unfairly a victim of the stewards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1164461976478422472006-11-25T08:39:00.000-05:002006-11-25T08:39:00.000-05:00Nice blaze -- handy for picking her out when she e...Nice blaze -- handy for picking her out when she emerged, CV silks obliterated by mud, from the pack at the turn. Seeing the race on TVG, she was out of the frame for most of the race.<BR/><BR/>Pretty impressive first effort, regardless of what you think of the company. She wove between horses and took a lot of dirt in the face to get where she did. So she passsed the test and looks like a serious race filly. Cute too. It will be fun to watch her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1164456658947423192006-11-25T07:10:00.000-05:002006-11-25T07:10:00.000-05:00Nice effort Alan.

If I had a little courage I could have had a nice exacta.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874325506841146077noreply@blogger.com
