well... she wasn't dead last, anyway. she beat one horse. i wasn't expecting a win, but i didn't expect it to go that poorly either.

The maiden-race disappointment was Teena Ella, the War Front filly produced by Beholder who faded to sixth after dueling inside the eventual winner. Trainer Richard Mandella said Teena Ella “is carrying weight, a little like her mother was” in her debut. Teena Ella is likely to improve next out, but the equine star on Saturday was Faiza.

I don’t know why people expected more - so far Beholder’s two foals to run have been awful

Neotropic (Tapit x Ecology by Unbridled's Song) a 1/2 (3/4?) brother to General Quarters won a maiden hurdle at Charleston today.

I would trust whoever did The Player's surgery there. That was a success.

Oh yes, whoever operated on the player deserves a medal. When I think of The Player I smile.
He is such a miracle!!!!!! I hope we get an update on LeCrete---

“ La Crete had a successful surgery at LSU yesterday to repair a condyle fracture. She is doing very well this morning. She will return to the farm once she is cleared to travel. A huge thank you to everyone who has taken care of our girl #GirlsinGold”

From Stonestreet’s Facebook

La Crete has been retired to their broodmare band, per a tweet from Stonestreet.

He looks like a big stout boy!

[BaroqueAgain1]

Not surprisingly, today's all 2yo race card at Churchill has a ton of well-bred babies. First race (colts) has Shopper's Revenge (Tapit x Stopshoppingmaria), and the 2nd (fillies) has Mija (Curlin x Rachel's Valentina).
ETA: I think Shopper's Revenge was 2nd, with Determinedly (Cairo Prince x Bailzee) the impressive winner.

[BaroqueAgain1]

The 3rd at Churchill, a 6-furlong AOC, includes Welaka (Malibu Moon x St. John's River [Include]).
In the 4th, a 7-furlong MSW for fillies, I would love to see Lady Irene (Kantheros x Leslie's Lady) do well. I'm not sure, but is Lady Irene the great Leslie's Lady's last foal?

[BaroqueAgain1]

Moving on to the 8th, a 1 1/16-mile open AOC, I am rooting for Confidence Game (Candy Ride x Eblouissante). The race also has another well-bred Candy Ride, Hit Show, out of the good producer, Actress (Tapit).

Race flatters Arabian Knight who beat Determinedly in last race. Sun Thunder who finished third, closed well and galloped out full of run in front of the field. One to watch next time.

[BaroqueAgain1]

The 2nd was won by Towhead (Malibu Moon x Smartly Agree), with Mija 2nd.

Yes. She also has a 3yo, Marr Time, who hasn't ran since April. She had one work in October but hasn't worked since.
