HAWK CUP*
WIN Artemis' Glory
PLACE Melodious
SHOW SmashDashing
fourth Sugar Demon

I didn't like placing Sugar Demon fourth, but this was a very tight race and in the end it was the brilliant front runner that got burned out just before the wire and the other three got jumps on here. Literally a length between first and last here - very close race!

Cruisey you entered Ghost Rider on both tracks. Since I judged the race already with him at The Wire, I'm going to scratch him here. ;)

And I am working on Sophie's Pride workout if you wouldn't mind waiting for that I'd appreciate it. :)

DARN IT. Thanks Cav xD

CONTINENTAL CUP*
WIN Abastor
PLACE Wish Upon A Star
show Ode To Glory

[Kenren]

Gold Cup
WIN Red Admiral
PLACE Secret Success

I could only find Secret Success' RM work, not a fall work. Sammy, I'm pretty sure the results need updated on Red Admiral's page.

INDEPENDANCE CUP*
WIN In Front (head)
PLACE Anodyne (two lengths)
SHOW Limited Edition
fourth Maliah
fifth Gallant Knight

In Front came with a late surge to overtake the nearly wire-to-wire winner Anodyne, who had opened up a fair gap on the field, in the last strides. Limited Edition never seemed to fire with that sparkling closing kick, but of course the pace didn't play in his favor either.

I didn't want to place your horses 4th and 5th, Isa, but in this very tough field there was nowhere for them to go. Gallant Knight hasn't had any real experience yet this year in HOTY fields outside of the seasonal cups, so he was a little out of his league against this seasoned competition. Try and find smaller HOTY fields for him, because I definitely think he's capable! Maliah definitely has more experience than her stablemate, but she was still outshone by the top group. I really think she's more suited for F/M HOTYs. My advice is from here on out to keep her in HOTYs, don't run her in more undercards unless she truly starts struggling. She definitely has the class, and proved it in her Delaware win, so now she just needs to continue having the right fields!

Yellow Cup - G5 8F T
Win. Luminous Wave (head)
Place. Sophie's Pride
Show. Ridgecrest

[Sammy]

What am I missing from her I'm sure everything is there?

[Kenren]

I'm pretty sure I judged a HOTY race with her in it recently. The Babbling Brook I think?

[Sammy]

I investigated after I had it saved just not on weebly Whoopsy she is good to go now. Thanks Kenny!

Amazing Stakes
WIN Casualty of War
PLACE Fifty In Front
show Meritorious

All three horses could have taken the win today, but it was Casualty of War who poked a nose in front of a challenging Fifty In Front.

CLIMAX CUP*
WIN Ultimate Revenge [neck]
PLACE Baciami
SHOW Saintly Touch [length]
fourth Flaming Confidenza
SCRATCH Noadiance - Owner's Request

SUPER tough batch of 3YO's that I love dearly. This was an extremely close race between the top three, each having had a little taste of each other in the Triple Crown and definitely had some battles going on today. Ultimate Revenge was hungry hungry for the win today and was narrowly beat by Baciami and Saintly Touch. Baciami was fighting hard and was able to jump ahead of a super quick Saintly Touch. Flaming Confidenza has been doing exceptional in the Tiara runs and has been running well and consistent against the F/M category. I'd stick her with her own gender since she has been doing so well running against them. 

[Kenren]

Tbh Cav, I flipped those horses around so many time. I really didn't want to judge the race because I know I've judged these horses a lot recently, but I knew getting another judge was going to be difficult. I can't tell you exactly what it was because a lot of these close races just end up being gut decisions. BUT I will not be judging this particular group for awhile so somebody else can have the stress xD I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with him, and he'll be back in winning form next race, maybe the race after. He's doing better than like 90% of the horses on the site so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[Sammy]

I meant to scratch Noadiance from this race i will disregard his place here sorry folks.
