Bangtail Stakes - 8F - G5
WIN. Valaska
PLACE. Constitution
SHOW. Piece of Me
I felt Valaska had the physical maturity and prior experience here to take out the win. It was hard between Constitution and Piece of Me, I feel they were both as equally as likely to do well here, but I decided Constitution was in good form after a solid win at this distance in Feb and a more consistent record thus far.

Balzatella Maiden - 9F - M
win SeizeTheThrone
place Charmed Weapon
show Bayahibe
fourth What So Not
fifth Amaretto Stone
sixth Legionare
SeizeTheThrone had age advantage here. Bayahibe does as well, but I could not find a workout for him so Charmed Weapon (he'll get his win when facing his own age!) managed to squeeze ahead of the older horse making his first start. I really like What So Not - he has a thoughtfully written personality, and I'm sure he'll luck out soon for that maiden win. Amaretto Stone (love the stats layout) and Legionare were not as lucky this time around in this race, just edged out by What So Not for his spot. These are all lovely horses bursting with potential. Keep racing them and their maiden win will come!

Age advantage! Both nice horses. Love Sophie's Harmony's breeding XD
Harratree Derby - 8F - G3

This group has seemed to run into some rough patches this season, but I think they are all actually nice horses. Simba and Dark Maiden struck me as the classiest of the bunch, though the others are not far behind!

Crystal this was a rough race to judge. The top two had the starts and consistency with those starts to deserve their placings. Deciding between Moonshine and Chasing The Sun was difficult, though in the end I thought Moonshine's experience would just edge him out. I like your colt's personality and I think he's just had a string of tough starts to begin his racing career with. Nothing wrong with him at all - he's just facing some consistent horses really ready to break their maidens and finding it a bit tough. I would not be too worried at this point, as the fields will thin out and I think having a second race under his belt should help him a lot next out!

PALM BEACH STAKES* - 9F - 3YO PREP FOR TURF TRIPLE CROWN
Win Breaking Point
Place Patriot
Show Amaris
SPINSTER STAKES* - 3yo+ Open 9F Dirt
Win Tiger Heart
Place Fleet Street
Show Barely Smokin
This race was all Tiger Heart and Fleet Street. I remember first seeing Tiger Heart as a juvenile when I first joined as a member, he has most definitely grown and matured into a fine stallion and he showed everyone what he could do today against two other top horses.

SOUTHWEST STAKES* - G5+ 10F D 3YO *PREP FOR TRIPLE CROWN*
FIRST Cascabel
SECOND Arctic Fox
THIRD Prometheus
FOURTH Roussong
Cascabel has found his beginning stride for this season, he had a wonderful two year old foundation. Arctic Fox and Prometheus battled for their placements, not much separated them. Today Arctic Fox managed to beat his compatriot, I enjoy both these colts, they have a lot of style. Roussong could not wedge himself over the others today, he just didn't quite have the edge he needed to overtake them. I suggest giving him a break so he can regroup and have a little rest.

FORWARD GAL STAKES* - G5+ 8.5F D 3yos *Prep for Triple Tiara*
FIRST Dauntless
SECOND Rise Me Gold
THIRD Winning Fire
Dauntless is a tough lady, and she's been setting herself up for a group like this for her first win of the season. Rise Me Gold is getting her hooves wet in the challenging race series, she has her work cut out for her but I know she's up for the challenge. Although Winning Fire has a tinge more under her belt then Rise Me Gold, being fresh off a win Gold had a keen eye to not let both fillies get past her today.
