Edit: Posting comments

Thunderstrike: I could tell you're putting a lot of time and effort into this boy. His prospect record alone is nice, and the one place for Y9 is impressive. He seemed to run an easy race today, keeping the pace extremely fast throughout the whole thing and urging horses on constantly. He won just barely, coming a nose in front of Flawed Princess, and put on a real show for the crowd today! A workout where I could tell his running would have been nice, but he still did well based off of his prospect and race record currently. Also his distance preferences and running style, setting a fast pace, helped this boy out a lot. Keep up the good work with him!

Flawed Princess: Flawed Princess seemed to be having an easy day today. While maneuvering towards the inside rail of the track she was spared from Thunderstrike's constant urging of the preceders. She was kept consistently behind him afterwards once her jockey noticed what the bay colt was doing. Flawed Princess spurted forward just a few seconds after Thunderstrike had made his move and the two were neck-and-neck throughout the whole stretch! A really exciting thing to watch! She seems to have a lot of potential, keep working with her!

Winning Touch: Fortunately, Winning Touch was also spared from Thunderstrike's tactics and only a few things dropped her down today. The young filly got a little spooky with the assistant starters until her jockey explained to them about the starting gates and then she was ready to go. She came out a little weird from the gates, which threw her off pace for a few seconds, but she managed to regain herself and continue on with the race easily. Throughout the race she seemed to be keeping up with the pace but clocking reasonable times as well. In the end she was playing a game of catch up with Thunderstrike and Flawed Princess that she just couldn't win. Her workout was very descriptive and enjoyable to read. She seems to have a bright future a head of her and probably would have done well today if she hadn't been stuck with a fast pace set up by the two before her.

Paramore: One of Thunderstrike's victims, poor Paramore got put into a race that he wasn't ready for because of Thunderstrike's antics. Paramore was pushed early in the race into a fast paces position he was ready to handle. Using all his energy up at the beginning of the race due to Thunderstrike's urging before being overtaken by the other rival bay colt. Paramore tried to kick it into gear once he was passed by Thunderstrike and Flawed Princess but he was just too tired after having to run fast earlier in the race. I would suggest posting up more threads which include more detail on his running style and maybe at a fast pace as well.

One With Gold: Thunderstrike seemed to have it out for One With Gold as well. The palomino filly was worked extremely hard at the beginning of the race, leading it for most of the way throughout and clocking what seemed like ridiculous times for this distance of race. She seemed to have worked herself too tired because of Thunderstike's urging from behind and it just wasn't her day today. I couldn't find any workouts listed on her page or your post, those would have probably helped her today, as well as a preferred running style on her page. I never got a real feel for her. She can do a lot better on her next go where she won't be pushed so much in the beginning!</sup>
