Comments:

Mystical Melody: Wow! She’s impressive! And look at that time! Keep up the great work Frosty. Today was a no distractions day for her. She stepped onto the track thinking that she could own this field, you could tell the way she carried herself in the post parade, and that’s what she did. Throughout the race she insisted on a fast pace and no one could stop her. She led brilliantly and there wasn’t a horse out there that could take her on. She really seemed like she was enjoying herself. Congratulations!

Written In Reality: It was hard to tell where he would place just watching him in the post parade. The young colt was bouncing around, chewing on his pony’s mane and nipping at his pony’s ears, eyeing the competition and the crowd in the stands. He was getting the true feeling of what it was to be like in a race, and from today’s results it seems like he loves being the center of attention. No surprise to you, right? With how much he talks in the stable. He burned himself out a bit in this race, and I would suggest giving him a bit of a break before his next workout, due to Mystical Melody’s top speed. With her leading he got excited too easily and put his best efforts in a little too early in the race. Luckily he was able to hold off the upcoming Ignite around the final turn and got himself a good second.

Ignite: Got the best of Santana’s Moment. Throughout the race he found himself struggling to keep up with the tougher competition, as the others have already had track time from previous races and workouts. Near the final turn he upped Santana’s Moment and got himself third, as the other's in front of him were playing a game of rocket catchup and Written In Reality just managed to hold off Ignite. He seems like a really up and coming horse, he just needs more track time.

Santana’s Moment: This girl was tired due to her other start this week in the Silhouette Stables Maiden Stakes and her bad start there. I was originally going to place her higher before that caught my eye. Today she did better, she was on the ball in the gates; she just didn’t have the energy to prove her stuff over the race. The pace was too quick, the other two horse's in front of her for most of the race only encouraged her to burn more energy as she was playing a game of catchup with them, and she just wasn't fast enough around the final turn to not get overtaken by Ignite. She’s bound to do well once she gets a small break.

Congratulations everyone! Today's race was a tough one. These youngsters got a lot of experience from today's performances.</sup>

See what did I tell ya about Kirsten liking Mel? xD For advertising sake Mel is by her horse Seattle Song, half brother to the courageous filly Secret Miracle who I remember getting second in the highly competitive Kentucky Derby two years ago. Her dam On To Dancing is my most successful brood, being the mother of On To The Spotlight, Radiance, Whip Up The Dancing, her, and Fire Dancer.

Jeesh have I been getting into horse bloodlines lately lol

_{lol just to add a bit more, Seattle Song is half brother to Secret Miracle AND Sweet Stalker (my first GHF HoFamer mare by Night Stalker), Sweet Stalker won the Preakness and Belmont on MHS. Both mares are Grade 1 .}
