[Snowflake]

I'm glad

bump!

Grade Four Turf
1st Loose Truth
2nd Alluring Assault
3rd Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace- To be honest- she seems nearly perfect in her personality. And like everyone knows, there's no such thing as a perfect horse. I would love if you showed some of her quirks or strange habits. Besides that, I liked her. Would have helped her today to have a recent workout though.
Alluring Assault- I love this filly! I really like her personality the most. She nearly had the win today but just lost by Loose Truth. A more recent workout would have definitely help her!
Loose Truth- I've always liked Loose Truth in general. She definitely can become something with a bit more work a little more time to settle with her new home (I think she was recently sold to you? If not, terribly sorry! lol). I think I've seen her with so many people it's hard to keep track of who owns her now lol Congrats on the win!

[Snowflake]

nearly perfect lol
as in, she doesnt misbehave, is responsive etc.
there are horses out there like that.
edit: i think it's cause she's 'cool and calm' on the track compared with other horses, and that she's pretty obedient under saddle.
I'll defs add something bad..

azule has had Loose Truth for like a year lol

thanks

[azzy]

Oh yayyy! Thanks! And yes, she's new(ish) :]
Now for my results!

Grade Five Dirt Results
Win Key to Flight
Place Conqueror
Show Moondance
4th Vindictive Fury
5th Lumiera
6th Knight Rosseau
7th Epidemic
8th Aliyana
9th Rude Awakening

Feedback
Key to Flight - You put tons of work into your horses Sam, and it really showed with Keegan. There's just something about him that I liked today. It was close, but Keegan pulled away with a two length victory.
Conqueror - CQ also has so much work put into him! I enjoy reading his workouts. He's a well rounded horse and I suspect that he'll do really well.
Moondance - Mona stood out to me over most of the horses. I liked her workout, though it wasn't aimed specifically at her (for the most part) Also, since she was 3, she had a bit more experience over the rest of the field.
Vindictive Fury - I like Vindictive Fury, and she stood out compared to the others, but she just needs some more work put into her. Still, I think she did great for a nine horse field.
Lumiera - I really like Lumiera, but she was just a bit wiped out after her win in week 3. You're on the right track with her, though.
Knight Rosseau - Knight Rosseau doesn't stand out to me as much, and he could use a work. That said, he's full of potential and will likely do fantastic as a racehorse.
Epidemic - I like Epidemic, but today was just an off day for her. When it came time to run, she just wasn't up to it, but I deinitely feel like she'll be a big threat in other races.
Aliyana - I'll admit it, Aliyana is a cutie. However, it had been a long time since her last race and it counted against her. She just couldn't compete with the fresher horses today.
Rude Awakening - It hasn't been as long since Roo's last race, but she couldn't keep up with her racemates. She kind of goofed off today, but is fresh and ready to race again (and place better! )

Tough, tough race!

crap. knew i should have done a work for her..

Woot!! Thank you Azzy!

Both that and the fact that she's easy to handle both on and off the track. I'm not saying that horses like that don't exist- it's just that typically they aren't young like she is
All my experiences with younger horses (I work at a training stables so I typically work with quite a few young horses) made me a strong believer that young horses do well.. Stupid and illogical things XD
I'm not saying that you should change that she is brat on or off the track but perhaps just add in something that is bad or strange habit (Like, for instance, this one mare I once knew was pretty much great at nearly everything but she ALWAYS had to have her royal rump resting on something lol It sucked to feed back then- she always had poo in her water because she would rest her butt on it and just let it all go lol)

XD Told ya' I can't keep track!

^{Soooo happy! Thanks so much for the results. Conqueror did stunner! Congrats to everyone! ;D}

I'll definitely be getting Tura a new workout, just a bit busy creating workouts for more pressing races [like the twelve horse grade five dirt! lol] She's going for the Turf Triple Crown, so watch out for her! Onya will get them next time....

Wowsers, I wasn't expecting Mona's show! lol such a huge field with nice horses. I was hoping to show off Mona's personality as well as Fire's in that work, but somehow it ended with Fire getting injured. I hope I did a good job with that part, I've never intentionally hurt my horses before lol. Thanks!

My results coming out in the next post!

[S u N f r O s t ~]

GRADE FIVE TURF
win Royal Perfection
place Streaks of Passion
show Winged Romeo
fourth Paramore
fifth Flawed Princess
sixth Wild Card
seventh No Wonder

As expected, the three year olds outpaced the two year olds easily. Royal Perfection was working for it today and came out beautifully. Streaks of Passion was loose and ran hard today, just missing it. Winged Romeo was good and tried hard, he needs a workout this year whenever you get the time to write one
The two year olds are coming along nicely. Paramore raced hard against Flawed Princess and came out on top. He's been worked so much and it's obvious you're putting a lot of work into him! Flawed Princess was fired up and didn't take the defeat very well, no doubt stimulating her for the next race. Don't forget to finish off those workouts! Wild Card ran all right, not the day for this one today, perhaps another day. No Wonder's one workout with you as unfinished, which put her at a bit of a disadvantage. Finishing it would have boosted her a bit All in all, good horses to all, very happy with how they're all coming along!

GRADE TWO/THREE DIRT
win Beyond His Candy
place Silver Stalker
show Fleet Goddess

Candy was on the game today and finally clinched the win he was searching for! Sylvia ran her hardest and dueled with Goddess a bit too much - they were too tired and busy with each other to deal with Spencer today. All of them were nice horses who seem set on having a good year!

[Snowflake]

thanks! I expected Flawed Princess to beat her sister, but Peaches beat 'em all! ;D Good experience for Amira

[tegie]

thanks! i didn't expect paramore to do so well against these other horses.

[S u N f r O s t ~]

Only the grade one dirt left now I believe! Whenever Kirsten gets to it...if not by tomorrow, new judge will be needed

[Snowflake]

Ripley, Blank, Kaylin, Azule, Axelle...?

[azzy]
