Torfender Derby - G4+ - 5f - T - 3yo
WIN: Flying Fashion
PLACE: Melodious

BOATSWAIN DERBY*
WIN Wyvern
place Fusillade

Very tight race between the two, Wyvern pressed Fusillade into the lead early on and managed to use his closing tactics. These boys are very close in class and it could have been anyone's race, but this is how I saw it playing out today. Fusillade should get out of his seconditis streak very soon for you (I know how frustrating it is xD)

[Cavallo]

BREVITY OAKS* - G5+ - 8F - DIRT - 3YO F
WIN Luminous Wave (nose)
PLACE Enrapture (neck)
SHOW Animatia

This was a tight group. Luminous Wave had this lead and today we saw a new fierce monster in this bay filly. She was beyond determined today to keep her lead against all odds and boy did the competition throw up some barriers! Animatia ,in a rare case to this fiesty tempered filly, showed some tactics and ran off the pace behind the leader and pressed her hard at the finish. I think she would have even won, if all of a sudden she didn't have the progressive closing Enrapture to try and fight off in the finish. This caveat really gave Luminous Wave the edge she needed to hold off the challengers. Beautiful fillies all around.

cruisey you have no idea. gahhhh

DANTHEBLUEGRASSMAN STAKES* - G2 - 9f - T - 3yo+
WIN Wild Determination
PLACE Devil's Blessing
dqd Daddy's Overdraft

[creativecause]

Could I DQ daddy's overdraft due to the screw up in the scheduling then? I also didn't have the race down on her schedule but stuck her in there because she hasn't run much of course I wasn't paying THAT much attention to the grade requirements when I entered her

Featherfelt Derby - G4+ - 5f - D - 3yo
WIN: Swing Dancer
PLACE: Rough Diamond
SHOW: Criosphinx
4th: Ares

[Sunfrost]

Addled Stakes - G5+G4 - 12f - D - 3yo
win Avengeable
place Vengeance
show Furious Flyer

[Cavallo]

I don't understand CC. She can run this surface and this distance. A third place isn't going to harm her record...? I know she's a Grade one, but she fits all the race specifications otherwise.

[Kenren]

She really should have been disqualified before the race though because she's not qualified for it.

Edit: really everyone just needs to start paying attention before entering races so we have less horses moving around after close. Scratches are okay obvs. (Not just talking about you CC, it's been happening a lot lately xD)
