4/23/11 - ALW 7.5 Dirt (1st of 20) 5 Points.
By the all singing, all dancing prince of the breeding shed in Revenge and they didn't know what hit them when this golden filly faced up to the gates on debut. There's really nothing else to say other than she showed them all a clean pair of heels and they never even saw which way she went. The race report simply stated "Dominated by 13+" enough said.
5/23/11 - KENTUCKY BREEDERS CUP 5.5 Dirt (1st of 16) 5 Points.
Led from the gates and her rivals never saw her again.
7/21/2011 - SANDFORD STAKES 6 Dirt (1st of 10) 5 Points
Again, continues to dominate. Jumped at 8/5 and beat them like a drum.
8/14/2011 - SARATOGA SPECIAL 6.5 Dirt (1st of 6) 4 Points
She scared them away at the draw with only 5 others daring to turn up. Rising colt Corpus Kyle surprisingly led her out untill the 2nd call and after that there wasn't much trouble from him or the following pack. In a whole world of her own this one.
3/18/11 - WILLIAM INGLIS CUP 5 Turf (5th of 19) 3 Points.
Big odds here and never close enough to threaten, could have been alot worse though.
6/3/11 - RANCHER STAKES 5 Turf (4th of 17) 3 Points.
Muddled run, but not disgraced. Continues to improve.
7/21/2011 - KINDERGARTEN STAKES 5.5 Turf (3rd of 7) 4 Points.
Led, quickly tackled but he did manage to hold out well.
8/14/2011 - PERTH STAKES 5.5 Turf (6th of 11) 3 Points.
Again, a puzzling run? Went off as 2nd favorite and settled mid pack but something happened near the 2nd call that put him right off his game and although he did climb back into 6th something appears to be lacking. He's also paying for his consistancy with heavy weights despite never winning which is always a disadvantage against stronger horses.
2/12/11 - S.ALW 8.5 Dirt (1st of 20) 5 Points.
Almost slowest to begin but soon positioned within striking distance and strike he did! Just after the 4th call inside the last furlong he exploded away from a decent field winning by 6 L.
4/23/11 - ALW 7.5 Dirt (2nd of 20) 4 Points.
After the freshen up he didn't relish the drop in distance and flopped from the gate before flying home far too late when beaten 13L in 2nd. Is a real topliner but needs at least a mile.
7/21/2011 - SANFORD STAKES 6 Dirt (5th of 10) 2 Points.
On paper just a midfield finish but effort is better than looks, not far beaten and rallied down the stretch.
3/24/11 - WILLIAM TELL 5 Dirt (1st of 18) 5 Points.
Not too bad on debut, then improved with this fighting win as favorite. Led them astray from gates and can do it again in similar races.
7/21/2011 - SANFORD STAKES 6 Dirt (6th of 10) 1 Points.
Extra furlong may have told? Then again not many horses can match the mighty Lighter Fluid early and survive to fight the finish out.
8/14/2011 - PERTH STAKES 5.5 TURF (1st of 11) 5 Points.
First time turf for this handily peformed blueblood and he didn't disappoint, leading throughout and never looking in doubt. Can be a force as long he avoids early speed duels with the likes of Lighter Fluid.
3/18/11 - WILLIAM INGLIS CUP 5 Turf (7th of 19) 1 Points.
This was a questionable performance after showing so much on debut when winning a non GC race. Raced on good here but won on firm, maybe he does need it rock hard. Either that or it was just a bad run and surely a horse of this calibre can be excused of that.
6/3/11 - RANCHER STAKES 5 TURF (2nd of 17) 4 Points.
Started favorite and went down fighting in a top affair, only just beaten.
7/21/2011 - KINDERGARTEN STAKES 5.5 Turf (2nd of 7) 5 Points.
Duelled the entire race with the speedy For you to Envy and Mighty Campaign (3rd place) but just nutted in a photo finish. Nice effort again.
2/26/11 - ALW 10 Turf (2nd of 20) 4 Points.
Chased hard but couldn't peg back 2 1/4 Lengths deficit. Handy Debut.
6/3/11 - RANCHER STAKES 5 Turf (6th of 17) 1 Point.
Got along way behind and possibly suffered a checkered passage when making his run. Capable of better but just needs the breaks in the run home.
8/27/2011 - MAIDEN 9.5 Dirt (1st of 19) 5 Points.
First time dirt and this time stretched to distance, and really came away from them from the middle call. 7/1 there and still looks to have some improvement.
4/23/11 - ALW 8.5 Turf (4th of 19) 4 Points.
Stunning 1/2 brother to Garson De Garcia who's talent came to fruition at about this time last year after not showing a great deal early. By new season sire Star Studded the winner of over 10 million on the track and sire of the placed Everlast who is the only other horse of note by him at this point. His first 2 tries were good finishing unplaced but less than 10L away both times. This time he went back and only got into the race very late beaten 13L. Too promsing to dismiss just on one run.
8/27/2011 - ALW 7.5 Turf (4th of 13) 4 Points.
Green, ran in patches. Mid pack early but pushed foreward at 2nd call and weakend late. Just beaten 3 3/4L. Chance at picking up another cheque this season but will be much better next year.
5/23/11 - KENTUCKY BREEDERS CUP 5.5 Dirt (4th of 19) 3 Points.
Yet another highly rated Smart Money 2yo. Previously placed and then not far from them in the rich Dubai Juvi', this wayward bloke turned in an unforgetable performance to pass 10 horses in the final run home.
7/21/2011 - SANFORD STAKES 6 Dirt (2nd of 10) 4 Points.
Chased very hard from midfield and only beaten by an exceptional animal.
2/12/11 - S.ALW 8.5 Dirt (2nd of 20) 4 Points.
Stunning colt, the eyecatcher in the yard. Followed his looks with bold effort from behind passing all but Flatline who had pinched the winning break. Follow with confidence.
8/27/2011 - MAIDEN 7.5 Dirt (4th of 19) 2 Points.
Another nice effort, pay to watch.
8/27/2011 - ALW 7.5 Turf (2nd of 13) 5 Points.
Tried hard to chase down long time leader and just failed. Group placed previously and looks above average.
2/12/11 - S.ALW 8.5 Dirt (4th of 20) 3 Points.
Started 7/1 and far back before unleashing. Never a chance but a solid effort.
2/26/11 - ALW 10 Turf (6th of 20) 2 Points.
Always well behind but powered late. Still to peak, Derby contender next year?
4/23/11 - ALW 8.5 Turf (3rd of 19) 5 Points.
Improved ten fold when coming back from 10f the strong Bellbuster colt gained the top points when 3rd. He powered home after being very slow to move from the machines. Very very impressive last time but he needs luck in his races because he can miss the go.
6/3/11 - RANCHER STAKES 5 TURF (1st of 17) 5 Points.
The 3rd heir to the throne, preceding his champion brothers Deux Francais and Run Missy Run - both dual G1 winning 2yos. Sensibly rated mid race before peeling out and reeling them in, defeating super talented D-Day amoung other strong colts.
2/26/11 - ALW 10 Turf (1st of 20) 5 Points.
Took control mid way and kept enough on hand to shake off all challengers, trackwise colt in good barn.
3/18/11 - WILLIAM INGLIS CUP 5 Turf (1st of 19) 5 Points.
Beat a handy field, albeit narrowly but still had plenty in hand. Very nice run and still much capable of better.
7/21/2011 - KINDERGARTEN STAKES 5.5 Turf (4th of 7) 3 points.
Has had a handfull of starts on mixed surfaces was in the market but just even at this stage.
8/14/2011 - PERTH STAKES 5.5 Turf (7th of 11) 2 Points.
Injured, not looking great.
3/24/11 - WILLIAM TELL 5 Dirt (2nd of 18) 4 Point.
Coming into this race after dual 2nd placings, despite again not winning did not dissapoint running 2nd again by a quarter length. One of the best fillies of the year thus far.
3/18/11 - WILLIAM INGLIS CUP 5 Turf (4th of 19) 4 Points.
"The Hammer", is racing well but this last effort was a head scratcher. Had eyes only for the leader early then somehow lost concentration and was passed quickly back to 5th before creeping forewards again. Will improve. Nice colt.
8/27/2011 - MAIDEN 9.5 Dirt (2nd of 19) 4 Points.
Very nice debut effort. Made an early run midway with winner Danewar but couldn't stay alongside in the stretch. Still quite an effort.
8/14/2011 - PERTH STAKES 5.5 TURF (5th of 11) 4 Points.
Another nice Vampirical colt in the making. Much better effort again back to turf. Had many favours inside gate and bottom weight but still for his immaturity (13/1) is going quite well.
5/23/11 - KENTUCKY BREEDERS CUP 5.5 Dirt (2nd of 19) 4 Points.
Fresh off a two victories she chased valiantly but couldn't reel in rising star Lighter Fluid. If it wasn't for a late run she may have gotten closer. Very talented filly.
2/12/11 - S.ALW 8.5 Dirt (6th of 20) 2 Points.
Over 30 L away from winner when 6th here but ran right on, suggesting over a little further a win may not be far away.
4/23/11 - ALW 8.5 Turf (9th of 19) 2 Points.
Was dropping back after a much improved run at 12f Dirt and cut his margins again running 9th. Continuously improving but wait for longer races for this guy.
8/14/2011 - SARATOGA SPECIAL 6.5 Dirt (4th of 6) 3 points.
Not beaten that far considering his past efforts.
8/27/2011 - MAIDEN 9.5 Dirt (3rd of 19) 3 points.
Was going ordinary with 13th, 10th, 11th before this stunning performance. Came from the clouds (17th) at midway and 6th atop the straight for this 3rd place. That was out of the blue though and may have to be taken with a grain of salt although may indicate natural improvement.
7/21/2011 - SANFORD STAKES 6 Dirt (4th of 10) 3 Points.
An outsider here, but performed admirably closing close home.
8/27/2011 - ALW 7.5 Turf (6th of 13) 3 Points.
Has struggled in 6 previous efforts and this was really no different.
2/26/11 - ALW 10 Turf (5th of 20) 3 Points.
Well beaten but was climbing over the top of them for runs in the straight. Lazy early, needs further.
4/23/11 - ALW 7.5 Dirt (4th of 20) 3 Points.
On speed colt who didn't draw well in his re-appearance after a debut 5th, but still did well just weakening the last bit for 4th 20 Lengths back. Certainly worth following up to 7.
3/24/11 - WILLIAM TELL 5 Dirt (3rd of 18) 3 Points.
Following up with his 2nd and 4th he was well backed again as 2nd favorite and delivered as 3rd placegetter here, he stalked the leaders and came on hard finishing 1 L short of the win. Quality youngster.
3/18/11 - WILLIAM INGLIS CUP 5 Turf (6th of 19) 3 Points.
All 3 performances to date look sound. Maybe not be top of the pack but he is as honest and genuine as they come and that will take him a long way.
8/17/2011 - SARATOGA SPECIAL 6.5 Dirt (5th of 6) 3 Points.
NIcely bred but didn't take full advantage of his 7/1 here.
8/27/2011 - ALW 7.5 Turf (8 of 13) 2 Points.
Nice looking and well bred filly yet to show.
8/17/2011 - SARATOGA SPECIAL 6.5 Dirt (6th of 6) 2 Points.
Looked outclassed and always trailled.
2/12/11 - S.ALW 8.5 Dirt (7th of 20) 1 point.
Specked at odds before being first out leading to just past the 2nd call and compounding spectacularily soon after ending up 7th more than 36L away.
3/24/11 - WILLIAM TELL 5 Dirt (6th of 18) 1 point.
Touched again into 13-1 before trying a new tactic and riden from behind, flying home for 6th but this time only 4 and 3/4L away. A definitive sprinter to follow for the rest of the challenge.
7/21/2011 - KINDERGARTEN STAKES 5.5 Turf (6th of 7) 2 pts.
In good yard and well bred but is yet to show much.
4/23/11 - ALW 7.5 Dirt (6th of 20) 2 Points.
Striking dapple grey Whisperwood homebred by Wekiva Bay. Opened up at big odds, got back ran on beaten over 25 L. There are certainly worse horses in the competition but she will still need to improve.
6/3/11 - RANCHER STAKES 5 Turf (5th of 17) 2 Points.
Much improved after poor debut. Drew wide here and soundly beaten but still better.
3/24/11 - WILLIAM TELL 5 Dirt (4th of 18) 2 Points.
First start. Diminutive colt but brave all along when chased the leader hard and just overpowered in the dying stages by the swoopers. Very promising run and should keep giving.
3/18/11 - WILLIAM INGLIS CUP 5 Turf (8th of 19) 1 Point.
Travelled well in 4th but really dropped the ball mid-race dropping out to 8th place and never recovering. Hard to gauge without a reasonable explanation.
8/14/2011 - Should count himself extremely lucky to have scored points after such an effort. Even the injured Cuor De Leone finished ahead. Then again there were more to finish even behind him.
5/23/11 - KENTUCKY BREEDERS CUP 5.5 Dirt (5th of 19) 2 Points.
Caught napping early and soon lagging but hitched a ride on Money to Burn's back and was quick to close. Much to learn but can be competitave.
8/27/2011 - MAIDEN 7.5 Dirt (5th of 19) 1 Point.
Supreme Court colt, previously placed on career opener. Right back to good form here in what was a much better result than it looks, having come from 10th at second last call.
8/27/2011 - ALW 7.5 Turf (10th of 13) 1 Point.
Another Big N Rich in the leading 2yo barn but unable to produce.
7/21/2011 - KINDERGARTEN STAKES 5.5 Turf (7th of 7) 1 Point.
Dismal at best and lucky to be on the board after that effort.
4/23/11 - ALW 8.5 Turf (10th of 19) 1 Point.
Heavy odds on debut and beaten by 37 L. Needs to lift.
2/26/11 - ALW 10 Turf (7 of 20) 1 Point.
90/1 rank outsider of the field bar one but out performed his 5/1 stablemate, the promising Soul Sound. May need time but something is in there.
4/23/11 - ALW 7.5 Dirt (7th of 20) 1 Point.
Should have finished much closer in this his first assignment, but he came out very lazily and stayed rear ward before attemping runs through the field and only able to cut loose when the race was over. Must be taken on trust after that first blunder but the run was outstanding nonetheless.
5/23/11 - KENTUCKY BREEDERS CUP 5.5 Dirt (6th of 19) 1 Point.
Was one of 3 horses trying to grab hold of the flying Lighter Fluid's tail early, along with Danish Cat and the highly rated Fields of Marscay. She was able to finish closest of that trio which must count for something.
