March Juvenile Turf Faceoff - M+ 9F T 2yo NW2 WIN. Wild Annie PLACE. Socialite
March Juvenile Dirt Faceoff - M+ 9F D 2yo NW2 WIN. Tisiphone PLACE. Ouro Lume
This was a really hard race for me. I think Ouro Lume is a fab horse, and she's been raced consistently and has been doing great. However Tisiphone has a lot of depth in her personality and racing style which I really liked, and I found her somewhat convincing for that reason. I feel like there would have been a big battle between the two of them in this race. So, this was a REALLY close one but I went with my gut in the end, and thought Tisiphone was probably just that little bit fresher too.

PRINCESS CUP*- G5+ 9F T 3YO F PREP FOR TURF TRIPLE TIARA FIRST Shatter SECOND Celebrity THIRD Enchanting Soldier
This was a nail biting race at the end. For the majority of the furlongs they happily stayed as front runner, middler, and closer. Celebrity was unable to keep her lead by a nose from a frisky Shatter, and Soldier had to swing two wide and lost some momentum in the last few lengths, leaving her just unable to get above Celebrity.
LYNARA'S KINGDOM MEMORIAL STAKES* - G2+ 7F D 4YOS+ FIRST Silent Snap SECOND Hellfire THIRD Melodious
Silent Snap was in for it today, in a very fast few furlongs he and his stablemate dueled it out considerably. Hellfire waited for her moment, as the two front runners faded she shot up from the back. Silent Snap was able to maintain his lead but Melodious hadn't quite enough in her after the early speed to keep ahead of the filly with longer range.

March Maiden Dirt WIN Virtuoso PLACE Lousiana Blues SHOW What So Not fourth Bayahibe fifth Caterina Sforza sixth Forget Me Not seventh Englishman
Englishman: A tough start for his first one against a very similar group of maidens. He was just caught in the middle of the field early on and lost a bit of confidence coming around the last turn with such a tight bunch. As horses start to break their maidens I think you'll have an easier time placing him somewhere now that he has some experience under his belt!
Forget Me Not: Same as Englishman, with this being her first start she just got a bit frazzled in the beginning and wasn't able to complete the job. While she is a year older than the top four, this was a tough race for her first start but as the season goes on she'll get more experience!
Caterina Sforza: Had the age advantage but had no racing experience, hence why she is where she is. Advice goes the same for her as I said above - maidens are terrible to judge because they are all the same lol.
Bayahibe: Was calm throughout the race but just got overpowered by the top three who pushed passed him at the last minute. He fought hard and I do think he will be out for revenge.
What So Not: I like his personality and running style and I think you've done a good job campaigning him so far. He placed in the money this time so I'm sure he'll get his win next time out!!
Lousiana Blues: Got overtaken by the chestnut filly that was not going to let another second place stamp her record. Virtuoso and her battled till the end but the slight experience of Virtue was the only thing that edged her out today.
