BORN TO SOAR AND VINDICTIVE FURY WORK FOR STARRY NIGHT STAKES*
It was really nice to see Vindictive Fury doing so well. The mare had always been talented, but her performance had always been hindered by her wild tendencies. Now the mare had won three of four starts this season, and was hoping to snag a fourth in the Starry Night Stakes. She was fairly well behaved this morning, cooperating with her rider quite nicely, although not without the occasional hiccups.
Born To Soar warmed up next to Vinny. The Racehorse of the Year award winner had also had a good start to the season, winning the Unicorn Horn Classic and placing second in two other races. It was difficult to say where we would point the young mare this year. She'd achieved so much last year, there wasn't a whole lot left for her to do.
The pair were working for the upcoming Starry Night Stakes. It was for higher grades four years old and up, nine furlongs on dirt. The field mostly consisted of fillies and mares, with one four year old colt. In short, they were up against Dark Sunrise, TDI Live This Lie, Moondance and Xalbadora. Not bad horses, at all.
