[/size]Mason wanted to work with a yearling and the one he chose was the Justa Muffin's daughter Just a Song. She was a bay filly that had an identical blaze that matched her Dam's Bluebell Sonnet. Walking her out holding the rope from her halter he got Terri's attention since she was going to be her jockey when the filly was a 2 year old. "Hey Terri I'm gonna work on Sonia thought you might want to help." He said the bay filly resting her chin on his shoulder.
Terri smiled and nodded towards the trainer. "Uh of course." She said putting on her boots and went with Mason to the circle paddock to test her endurance and stamina. Like her parents she would be a distance runner on turf tracks. The filly got her shoes put on not too long ago and so while placing a saddle on her no one was going to ride her it was just the weight of it to get her used to it.
Terri closed the gate behind Mason and climbed up on the gate to watch Mason work. Just a Song was her track name but, the team called her Sonia and she seemed to respond to it. Mason gave a gentle tap on the fillies hind quarters and she went into a trot while Mason held onto the rope the filly went into a complete circle raising her tail glad to stretch her legs. She was Sired by Justa Muffin who did a pretty well job in his career and his only other foal was Get Loose who also resided at Bowen Acres.
While her dam Bluebell Sonnet never raced Mason was a bit worried of that part but, he had looked over the books towards Bluebell Sonnet's other offspring, Lawliet's Girl a grade one mare who produced a few good offspring as well, Royal Cadenza is coming his way as he is a grade 5 colt, her other foal Blue me Away is also of grade status and is doing excellent. Mason was hoping Just a Song would also be apart of that status of her siblings in the future racing seasons to come ahead of her.
The filly was already growing into a beauty while having the coloring of her Sire she was a tremendous horse either way. He could see that the filly did not mind the saddle on her back and looked to go a little faster as Mason tried to keep up with her pace the tracks would come in at a later time. Terri watched her next racer and clapped her hands at her improvement.
"I'm still curious on how she will do on an actual track. She showed at the Cuesta Prospect at The Wire I guess that's pretty well for her first time." Mason said then having the filly stop. She was sweet and well mannered sometimes Mason wondered if she even was a horse.
