When questioned whether there was a possibility to hold a position early, Rdr stated attempted early to hold an inside position, however was mindful of mare’s racing characteristics, having previously over raced, & did not want to overly pressure mount in an attempt to hold a trailing position as felt mare would likely over race & it would be detrimental to its overall chances-added mare was not suited by race tempo & also appreciates firmer tracks. A post race vet exam revealed no abs. | $3.80 | ||
