Misty Maiden Stakes - M 11F T
Win: Apache Sunrise
Place: Catastrophic
Show: Patriot
4th: Mr Wild
5th: Valaska

[Sammy]

Okay may I get feedback on Valaska please I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[creativecause]

I wouldn't say you're doing anything wrong Sammy. This was a big field of maidens and all of them had one or two more starts under their belts. It seemed to me that it would be rather unfair to place a horse that had a single start above a horse that was making their 3rd or 4th start. I know how much of a pain it is to break maidens but I assure you she'll get that win sooner rather than later.

creativecause, do you have any feedback for me for Mr Wild? I can honestly say that short of completely cherry picking fields, I can do nothing more for him. I think he's well bred and a nice colt with good experience now, but no judge seems to like him XD This was his fourth try and he's placed out of the top three twice now and third the other two times and I'm not sure why he's not seen as a good horse. So any feedback on helping him along would be good

PLACE Melusine
show A True Hero

Monarch Stakes
WIN Palisades Pirate [neck]
PLACE Impressionable
SHOW Dancing Fool
fourth Night Visions
fifth Flaming Confidenza

Before anyone shoots me with these placings, I have already done so lol. Palisades Pirate stood out to be and has been shot down multiple times this season already and wasn't about to do so again. While he didn't take this one easily, he took it classily and was able to hold onto a stalking Impressionable. I placed Dancing Fool over Night Visions just because Dancing Fool strikes me with a little more maturity than Night Visions, who is going to be one to watch come TC time if you decide to run him there. I hated putting Denza where she is, but the other four were slightly stronger coming out today, and she'll surely bounce back quickly after this one.

[creativecause]

This was a big field and the top three stood out to me more. You're not doing anything wrong with him he just didn't stand out as much to me as the others did. I know breaking maidens is a pain believe me I know that but we're literally 2 months into Y16 I wouldn't worry too much about it. Plenty of good horses weren't standout break-their-maiden-on-first-asking horses.

CORONATION STAKES*
WIN Cyclonaria
PLACE Lady Timeah
SHOW Sweet Mimosa
fourth Dudley's Girl

Tough race to choose between the top two, but Cyclonaria stood out to me for this one. Dudley's Girl needs to have a few more grade specific races before she tries to take on the top three again.
