Workout for October Maiden Dirt

It was the time to try to get our maiden horses off the mark again. This season in the track feels right and the horses were growing strong. Two horses which were entered in the race were both bought last year, and both golden chestnut in colour like they were made from the Greek sun god Apollo himself. They were the only two entered so far, but the race soon would become competitive just like before. New stables were coming in which was a good thing, as it would make the horses improve and the competition was always good.

Now it was time to focus on the horses which were entered in the maiden dirt race. Luck Silver our chestnut colt which we bought from Star Thoroughbred Sale when he was yearling last year, this colt had a good run so far this season, mostly placed in second and third which was amazing for a young colt. Hopefully he would break his maiden soon, so that he could be entered in the breeder's cup, whcih was our plan. The blinkers have helped with his performance and connection. The second entry for us is Santana's Gold, the chestnut mare we bought during a reclaiming sale, when she was neglected by her old stable. She have been running ok, since she been with us, but we can see the potential in her it was only a matter of time before she show it and win the race.

On the dirt track the both horses galloped. Side by side and breezing for while. The horses were just keeping their strides, as the workout wasn't a hard one them, it was just a small, calm one to get them prepared for the race. The last was needed is to blow they energy from their souls and leave them exhausted to even race on race day. The jockeys understood this and just allowed them to breeze more, the distance was 12 furlongs which was the distance both horses were able to handle.

Four furlongs have gone passed and the jockeys decided to loosen the horses more. Allowing the horses their heads, both of them began to break like their were racing for real. Each stride was fast and Lucky began to show his competitive streak which always shows on the track in his races. Quickly he took the lead and began to full speed around the track, almost kicking the dirt into Santana's Gold into her face.

The filly wasn't phrase by this or even cared much, so she started to challenge the colt, which was the fighting spirited which she had and always showed for us during the workouts and on race day. Quickly she was by the colt's withers and trying to get the lead from him, but Lucky wouldn't allow this to be taken easily and he would make her to go harder more.

The sweat was breaking out on both horses now and the workout was enough for them for the maiden race and to save some energy for the race it's self, the jockeys pulled their horses up and walked them around for few minutes to cool off. Both of the horses were fit and ready to race, hopefully one of them would break their maidens and be able to enter the Breeder's Cup
