You're in luck, because she has a yearling colt by him.

No, she wasn't going to let him by her - truly a remarkable performance; I think that race is underrated. It's truly a shame that she got injured - she would have been a fantastic older mare.

Speaking of Rags to Riches...

Photographed last week here at Saratoga, unnamed 2-year-old colts by Liam's Map-Receipt (left) and Tapit-Rags to Riches (rail).

This very nicely-bred duo is in training at Saratoga with trainer Todd Pletcher.

Wow, the rider earned his pay on this one. Like Mom, like daughter.

The freak show, from the final corner:

2yo filly 15. REFRAME

(American Pharoah x Careless Jewel (Tapit)) winning the 1600m (Turf) 2yo Newcomers at Niigata in bizzarre fashion, if they can ever control her she will be some horse...... #wowser

Wow!
But it was a scary at the same time...
Both her trainer Yoichi Kuroiwa and her jockey Takuya Kowata looked pale after the race.

JRA's steward announced that Reframe(USA) would undergo an aptitude re-examination after August 17th.

The saddle slipped a lot. I'm wondering if that was why she ran like that. I mean it was her first race, the saddle was pretty much on her side by the end of the race. I think maybe we shouldn't judge her much for what happened here.
When she really swerves out in the stretch the jockey is kneeling on her back because the saddle wasn't there. Even a seasoned horse wouldn't have ran normal here.

As trainer Yoichi Kuroiwa commented after the race, she was showing her habit of veering out (to the right) during her final workout before the race.

And today she showed that habit again even before the race when she started cantering after the post parade.

Saddle slipped because of her moves during the race after all.

Let's hope her trainer will successfully adjust her habit before August 17 when JRA steward's re-examination takes place.

She reminds me of Chicquita.

Spicer Cub must be crushing hard.

@RajivMaragh
Wow her mare Careless Jewel super quircky as well. In the Alabama i thought she was HTB so i was going to target her and follow her in the race, when we got on track she threw Landry like 3 times. I said switching tactics she’s toast. Gate open she ran off and won by 11. freaky

tachyon, do you think they will consider blinkers, or partial blinkers (just the right side cup) for her? Or a single cheek piece?

He's legit. Sounds like Attfield plans to stretch him out.

Whoo Hoo Enable wins the King George today and makes history for the second time.
She is the only Arc winner to also win BC Turf.

Except for Found. But she didn't win in the same year.

Was gonna say... my girl Found did it first, beating Golden Horn in the process!

Nathan Detroit won his debut today. By Union Rags, out of Gracie Square, a half-sister to War Front and Teammate.

Where did he run? I like the name, surprised he was not named Union Square though!
