Win- On To The Spotlight
Place- Lawliet's Girl
Show- Wildly Natural

Holy smokes! These girls were close!!
I ended up choosing due to racing style. Lolly is rather comfortable anywhere and her spurt at the gate set her right behind Onya, leaving Tura to take the back.
Their positions stayed the same around the backstretch, everyone holding and waiting. Lolly slowly creeped up on Onya, who kept her stance.
Around to the stretch, Onya burst out a hair faster then Lolly, due to feeling rather competitive with Tura- a black horse (Ario competition thing)- being in the race as well as her extreme experience on the track. Lolly managed to keep neck and neck with her.
Tura has to swing around to make it past the two other fillies and her jockey had to give a bit of a prod to get her really going for the win, resulting in a very close third.

It's hard to give feedback on these amazing fillies and today was nearly luck. Onya could stand to have a separate paragraph explaining her racing style. Perhaps a bit more depth into Lolly's personality. With Tura, some of the phrasing in her personality is hard to understand. Both Tura and Onya could do with another work out.
So really, with these lovely ladies, it's only polishing and maintaining left to do with them.
