Monday, May 29, 2023

LS Race #10 $200.000

F&M 3+  116/122 Lbs (plus penalties) 1-Mile (T)

1st: #1 Appreciate (Mo Mentum Farm/L.S. Quinonez 116): Straight to the front to dictate the terms from her rail draw.  Allowed to set reasonable fractions through three-quarters while holding a length advantage.  Ran strongly through the stretch to keep her rivals at bay.  

2nd: #3 Cowgirls (Maxmillion Farm/R.E. Eramia 118): Tracked the leader while racing outside another rival.  Carried to the three-path as they turned for home.  Could not get to the leader while being clear 2nd best.

3rd: #2 One Night (Smokey Stover/S. Elliott 116): Settled a length off of the pace while keeping to the rail.  Moved off of the rail as they rounded the bend for home.  Brief rally before flattening out.

Appreciate improves her record to four wins from eight starts as she has won two in a row.  Her bank account now stands at $219.740 after she stopped the clock in 1:35.04 for the one mile over a course listed as “good”.  Congratulations to her and Mo Mentum Farm on their victory in the OB Distaff!
