Tough group of sprinters here! I really liked Secret's Garden for the win, she's been pressing hard since the beginning and I could see her edging out her stablemate for the win slightly.

FIRST Animatia
SECOND Like A Lioness
THIRD Partyatthedisco
All three mares have been seeking a win, but only one could capture it today. Running very hot, Animatia took the lead as Lioness hung back to stalk her, and Party brought up the rear. Left with nothing in front of her, the pace was very fast. Lioness almost caught up to her at the wire, and Party couldn't close fast enough on the two hot heads. Animatia has been participating more frequently in HOTY company, as Lioness has not been in this class level for over six months. She did well in her two year old, she needs some more time to soak in HOTY to get her momentum back. Partyatthedisco was outmatched today, but she isn't a bad mare. It takes time to break into HOTY, she'll pick up a win soon.WILD FLOWER MEMORIAL STAKES* - G2+ 9F T

WIN Black Thriller

Both great horses, both undefeated so far until this race it was tough to choose one winner. Black Thriller just managed to slip ahead of a hard driving Key West who had been at the front the whole race. I think they will go far in this series.Week 2
March Maiden Dirt - M 9F D
Judge Cruisey
WIN Virtuoso
PLACE Lousiana Blues
SHOW What So Not
fourth Bayahibe
fifth Caterina Sforza
sixth Forget Me Not
seventh Englishman
Englishman: A tough start for his first one against a very similar group of maidens. He was just caught in the middle of the field early on and lost a bit of confidence coming around the last turn with such a tight bunch. As horses start to break their maidens I think you'll have an easier time placing him somewhere now that he has some experience under his belt!
Forget Me Not: Same as Englishman, with this being her first start she just got a bit frazzled in the beginning and wasn't able to complete the job. While she is a year older than the top four, this was a tough race for her first start but as the season goes on she'll get more experience!
Caterina Sforza: Had the age advantage but had no racing experience, hence why she is where she is. Advice goes the same for her as I said above - maidens are terrible to judge because they are all the same lol.
Bayahibe: Was calm throughout the race but just got overpowered by the top three who pushed passed him at the last minute. He fought hard and I do think he will be out for revenge.
What So Not: I like his personality and running style and I think you've done a good job campaigning him so far. He placed in the money this time so I'm sure he'll get his win next time out!!
Lousiana Blues: Got overtaken by the chestnut filly that was not going to let another second place stamp her record. Virtuoso and her battled till the end but the slight experience of Virtue was the only thing that edged her out today.March Maiden Turf - M 6F T
Judge Cruisey
WIN Escapade
PLACE WhattaTwist
show Took The Night
It was a battle of the stablemates between WhattaTwist and Took The Night. Escapade had the upper hand with a few solid races under his belt against tough competition early on. I felt like WhattaTwist had a bit more maturity in this race to take the second place over her stablemate. However both are good horses and I think once they get the hang of things they'll be awesome!March Turf Stakes – G4+G3+G2 6F T NW1

WIN. Tisiphone
PLACE. Ouro Lume
This was a really hard race for me. I think Ouro Lume is a fab horse, and she's been raced consistently and has been doing great. However Tisiphone has a lot of depth in her personality and racing style which I really liked, and I found her somewhat convincing for that reason. I feel like there would have been a big battle between the two of them in this race. So, this was a REALLY close one but I went with my gut in the end, and thought Tisiphone was probably just that little bit fresher too.PRINCESS CUP*- G5+ 9F T 3YO F PREP FOR TURF TRIPLE TIARA

THIRD Enchanting Soldier
This was a nail biting race at the end. For the majority of the furlongs they happily stayed as front runner, middler, and closer. Celebrity was unable to keep her lead by a nose from a frisky Shatter, and Soldier had to swing two wide and lost some momentum in the last few lengths, leaving her just unable to get above Celebrity.PRINCE CUP* - G5+ 9F T 3YO PREP FOR TURF TRIPLE CROWN

Silent Snap was in for it today, in a very fast few furlongs he and his stablemate dueled it out considerably. Hellfire waited for her moment, as the two front runners faded she shot up from the back. Silent Snap was able to maintain his lead but Melodious hadn't quite enough in her after the early speed to keep ahead of the filly with longer range.Week 3

Bulletproof was running at her max range here, but really kicked up a lot of distance between herself and the other two ladies with her early burst. She's been doing well in her starts and was in good form coming into the race. Italian Beauty missed the 2nd place narrowly, having had dueled it out with Vengeance ferociously in the last stretch. Vengeance had come into the field after a good spell, and aside from her extra year of maturity on Italian Beauty, was well rested and ready to rumble.

Fifth. Miss Lieutenant (Nature Spring Acres) +1
More track-time was the deciding factor on the top two placings, with Moonshine edging in first with a little more experience and the advantage of testosterone. I think he was more than ready for a win. Chasing The Sun was feeling fresh today and just edged out the two fillies following him, boosted by a greater stamina range compared to the fourth place holder, who was running at her max distance for the first time. WhattaTwist came in just ahead of Miss Lieutenant, having been raced consistently and in good form after two successful starts this month. I think Miss Lieutenant was at a slight disadvantage at only her second start this season, but I don't doubt she will shine - I liked her personality.

sixth Englishman (Blackwood Racing) +1
Englishman: Got caught in a tough group of maiden runners today. His recent performance didn't give him enough confidence to make a bold move today which is why he landed where he is.
Arrows Away: Actually led for most of the race today alongside Louisiana Blues, but couldn't quite finish his surge at the end. I think he will mature into his running style as he grows older, but today just couldn't finish the job.
Bayahibe: While he has the age advantage over the others, I feel like he still has a bit of maturing to do before he finds a win. Smaller fields will help because I do adore him!
Louisiana Blues: She's a tough filly but she strikes me as a horse who would do better at the 7/8 range once she gets a win. She really reminds me of a sprinter-miler type like her siblings and just got bustled out of the lead by the two closing horses.
Mambo Mama: Same here, I feel like she will like shorter distances rather than the latter. Just got squeezed out of the win today!
Katana: Finally got her win today. I do think this was a bit short for her but with that being said she seems very versatile and I quite enjoy her personality.

It really looked like Everlasting Gift had it here for quite a while. He had the advantage of being a colt and thus far winning 3 of 4 of his races. He is tough competition. However I felt Miss Abiline was fighting hard today, she has already raced the distance (unlike Everlasting Gift) and seems to like it after a solid win with her first start at 5F. She claimed this one by a nose.

Excalibur's Stone: This was a tough race to make her 4yo season debut. This is not to say she can't run at this level, but I would have brought her back in an undercard instead. With more seasoning, she may just be effective at this distance.
