FALLAMEE DERBY* - G2 - 7f - T
Win. Speed Rush
Place. Bowen Arrow
Liked both of these horses, but I saw Speed Rush leaving the gate on a mission. He ran extremely well and could have a say in some later races if you plan on keeping him in training CC. I see Bowen Arrow as more of a miler-ten furlong horse, especially with his style. He couldn't keep the pressure up on Speed Rush, but he is still a very nice animal. (Side note: the picture you have for him is epic and makes me want to breed to him in the future lmao)

FORTUITOUS MILE* - G5+ - 8f - D - 3yo
Win. Shenanigans
Place. Meritorious
Show. Honorary
Firstly, I did a real in depth judging of this race because I haven't judged these horses or seen them run in a long time. I love all of these fillies and almost wished they'd ran in the Triple Tiara and made it more interesting.
Shenanigans: Had the opportunity to sit back and play it by here. Her rider rode a very smart race and timed her move perfectly.
Meritorious: Boy have I missed this girl run. I adore her and think if you hadn't had Calypso in the Tiara, she would have done super. I look forward to facing her in the CTC or where you point her (Red Mile... perhaps). I couldn't judge whether she had much opportunity to run in 8 furlong races, but I think she'll do well going forward with this experience.
Honorary: Like my Nocturnal Runaway, she is overachieving at this point. She strikes me as a filly on the improve and I have always felt this way towards her. Maybe drop her into some undercard races and build her up. She could be very threatening for the Red Mile and in the older distaff division next season.

Embeldow Stakes - G5+
Win: Night Visions
Place: Escape Artist (nose)
Show: The Last Of Us
Night Visions was the best looking horse going into this race and when let lose on the lead and allowed to dictate the pace he drew off to win this one. The other two it came down to experience and running style, I didn't see The Last Of Us quite getting there today when she had so much ground to make up and less experience to back that sort of a move up, don't worry though Brave she's going to get you another win soon.
