She ran a very good race and could have been "right there" if her trip was better. Hector had to "check her" severely when the 2 horse quit running on the last turn and again had to "check and snap her" to the outside when the 5 drifted out and closed "her hole". We might not have won but with better racing luck -could have at least been second. Anytime you run a tough third in a $50K stake on your 70th birthday--IT IS A GOOD DAY. GREAT TIME HAD BY ALL. WONDERFUL DAY WITH FRIENDS AND HORSES.

At the start, the 1 mare-Queenledo stumbled, but still won the race. She is a great mare.
Coming down the stretch after having to swing to the outside as the 5 horse came out on us. Not enough time to pass the 8 horse.
Returning after running third. We did good.
