This was extremely tight guys, but the impressive work on Dash Of Sugar and her previous results nudged her ahead today, but good horses all.

Race Write Up

Hello and welcome to the first running of the Highway Stakes, hosted by Stride of Perfection Stables. Today, three runners will battle head to head to the wire to claim $250,000. They are beginning to come onto the Turf now. First out is the Grade 2 Mare, Fashionista. She hasn't been worked for about a year and a half in my perspective according to her records. She isn't favoured to win today, but has got a chance! She is sired by Alaskan Frost, and out of Fashion Brook. Next out is Spitfire, she Grade 4 Chestnut Colt. This colt has had potential in his life. He doesn't like muddy conditions, that is good because todays ground is Standard. He is by the well known Fireworks, and out of Spitz. Last but not least, todays favourite, Dash Of Sugar! This gorgeous Grade 2 Filly has one more win to go until she breaks her Grade 1. She is by Flashing Bright and is out of Koda Grey.

They're all in... and they're off in the First running of the Highway Stakes! Dash Of Sugar strides to the front as expected, but Spitfire missed the break! Spitfire missed it, and is now being ridden along by his jockey! Fashionista is hot on Dash Of Sugar's heels as they charge along the back stretch. Dash Of Sugar is still leading, but oh god, what is this! It appears Fashionista clipped the heel of Dash Of Sugar and Dash Of Sugar is slowly slightly, but receives a hand drive from Melanie MacKenzie to get running again. Dash Of Sugar sticks to the front whilst Fashionista is now tiring due to trying to keep up with the hot pace and is now overtaken by Spitfire, whom himself is tiring! This leaves Dash Of Sugar in the lead as they turn for home. No need to call it! Dash Of Sugar has already won! *chuckles* Despite all the fuss on the backstretch with Fashionista clipping her heel, it hasn't stopped her. And this is it, clear by 12, 13, 14... 17... 18.. NINETEEN LENGTHS! Of Spitfire... this mare didn't even need urging. Only when the incident occured, but we have a Stewards Enquiry for that, and we will tell you later.

We believe that Fashionista caused interference with Dash Of Sugar along the back straight at the half mile pole but the result stands.

I wanted to make the race a bit more interesting, lol

>.> Asking is appreciated

[missy1]

Sorryy, but I wanted to take a job off Frostys Hands Frosty has alot to do on here yanoe?

[sam]

Yes, but maybe she was looking forwards to judging this group of horses or wanted to judge her own race
It doesn't take long to post "I can judge this for you, if you want"

Wanted to point this out, his sire is Spitz and his dam is Fireworks. Like it says on his page. xP So he's actually by Spitz and out of Fireworks. Bummer race for us, not like him at all. Thanks for second though.

Edit: Out of curiosity, and to find out what he needs work on, what was this race based on?

You wouldnt by any chance be talking about our friend Meghan would you? haha

Missy, Frosty clearly said she would judge. The race wasn't ready. I was going to enter, too. I'm giving you a warning level now, because this is certainly not the first time you've gone ahead to judge before, and for other reasons too. I'll be sending you a PM in more detail.
