Y16 February Week One

[Cavallo]

BATTLESTONE DOWNS TURF CLASSIC* - G5/4 - 11F - TURF - 3YO
win Coveted Faith (whisker)
place Altercation (nose)
show Santana's Legend

what a tight group!! I loved them all. Today Faith's versatility played to her advantage and after playing 3rd fiddle twice in a row, something clicked for her today. I see her turning into something VERY impressive as she progresses this season. Altercation I see him looking for those redemption wins and it won't be long before he becomes that upset people dread. Santana's Legend is a great filly. Nothing wrong with her, but the top two just struck me as being more revved for this race, but this will catapult her in her next outing.

I'm not contesting the placing at all Cav, but I guess I just don't know what to do. I took Ana out of the Unicorn Horn because I was hoping she'd get her G3 win here, and yet she still can't place higher than third. I literally couldn't give her more HOTY* experience to go from, and yet her start to the year tells me she's not going to be ready for the TTC. Should I just not bother and drop her down to undercards so she doesn't totally get left behind in grade? /endfrustratedventing

I hated placing Swing Dancer out of the money, but being relatively new to BSD the others had a slight advantage over her.
