Penwith (Bernardini x Composure) runs tomorrow at Gulfstream in the allowance feature. Connections are hoping get a stakes win with her this year.

His first workout was last July. I'm a proponent of not pushing young horses, but... yeesh.

Destin (Giant's Causeway x Dream of Summer), full brother to Airdrie stallion Creative Cause, just won the G3 Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay. Nice win, several lengths ahead of the fancied Tapit colt, Rafting.

I'm so happy; she came agonizingly close on one occasion as a 3 year old and she's a really nice mare...

Satono Crown(JPN), 2012C. Marju(IRE) x Jioconda(IRE) by Rossini(USA), won impresssively in the G2 Kyoto Kinen 2200m turf at Kyoto on February 14th 2016.
The 4yo colt is a full brother to Lightening Pearl(IRE).
His performance today may tell us how good Duramente(JPN)(King Kamehameha x Admire Groove), who defeated him easily in the Satsuki Sho and the Japanese Derby last year, could be.

I heard he is slow but has the competitive spirit Cozmic One doesn't, so who knows, maybe a race will bring something else out of him.

Making allowances for some differences in the track from day to day, Ziconic's workout tab at Santa Anita has been steady and average, not slow or fast but consistently in the middle. He was 23rd of 43 on the Feb. 13 at 4F. On Feb. 4, he was 6th of 12 at 6F. His 1:01.20 on Jan. 24th shows some promise. so it's hard to tell from the work tab if the trainer just works him slow.

It might be time to admit that breeding her to Galileo has not been successful.

I never understood why they insisted on breeding a dirt bred Belmont winner to a turf sire.......stubbornness because it's Galileo? Surely there are far better matches for Rags as sires.

[Izvestia]

I have always wanted to see her go to Distorted Humor. Or possibly Speightstown - although with that you get Secretariat in the foal three times.

[BaroqueAgain1]

"...although with that you get Secretariat in the foal three times."

You say that as though it's a bad thing.

Her family had success with Sadler's Wells before, so why not try? Plus has produced top runners on turf and dirt. I would assume they wanted a Galileo filly which they never got.
She has produced a G1 winner by him, in Serbia.
