TERROR SMILE WINS THE JUNE TURF STAKES
The champion mare, Terror Smile, broke her Year Twelve debut in the June Turf Stakes. After her heartbreaking breakdown in the Breeder's Cup Filly And Mare Turf in Year Eleven, the mare began racing after her recovery in late April. Since, she has placed third twice. It took her awhile to get back into the groove of racing but finally she has gotten her head back in the game.
In the Turf Stakes, she faced a four horse field including Sugar Jayde, Cosmic Warfare, and Silver Gold.
In the same week the Rising Fury Memorial Stakes ran. This race included Sillenia (Smile's rival who beat her in the Breeder's Cup Filly & Mare Turf) and Executioner's Apprentice, the champion colt. We asked Hailey if she was thinking about entering her mare into that race for a bit of a rivalry against the two, Smiles and Sill. Hailey said she was but instead wanted to ease Smiles back into the racing game. A race with those two would have been too much for Smiles, or at least she thought it would be too much for her, in her stage of return. It would have only been her third race since her breakdown and she didn't want her to work too hard; not yet, anyways.
There is rumors of Hailey trying to work towards the Breeder's Cup again this year with Smiles but since it's so far away, only time will tell and she did not say anything about that to us while we interviewed her.
That's it for now, but stay tune for more news on Triple Krown Racing and their horses.
