Okay. I'm am extremely frustrated with Calamity Queen. Can someone please tell me why she can never win? Bet if I sold her she would start winning like crazy.

As for War Cry, I really don't understand. This filly won a heap of the Triple Crown preps and won two legs of the Triple Tiara, and yet she's come last in the two races where I've put her against older horses. Feedback please?

[Sammy]

Brandy, May I please have feedback on Gambler? It seems he can only stay in the top two and hasn't won a race yet this year...What do I need to improve on him?

^{Snowflake - Calamity Queen was the youngest horse of the field - and bearing that in mind, her and Whipped Cream were on the same level experience wise - Charis was the oldest and almost had this race - but I felt on the day that against the older horses she couldn't quite make it. She's a three year old - she has plenty of time to climb up the ranks.}

[Snowflake]

At this stage of the year, when three year old races are pretty much over, I don't agree with three year olds being put down for being younger. They are nearly four years old now and they have the experience and the maturity to take on the older horses.

<sup>I never heard about that at all.

She will do well next time out.
Trust me on this one.</sup>

Grade Five Dirt
WIN Radiant Silver
PLACE Headstrong
SHOW Glory Bell
fourth Ivory Storms

Congrats on the win Snowy - Radiant Silver took full advantage of a quick field (a front runner, a stalker and a preceder) and closed to an impressive victory. Glory Bell raced really well, Megs, but was lacking in experience compared to the Star Thoroughbreds entrants. Don't give up on him, 3 wins in 4 starts is insane... I personally feel Ivory Storms is a little heavily raced - three starts in July and another earlier in August - try giving him two or so weeks off and he'll perform better.



Grade One Turf Sprint
WIN Sugar Jayde
PLACE Beltane

fourth Spitting Image

Spitting Image hasn't had a complete workout since January, which really counted against him here.



Grade One Turf
WIN Flawed Princess & Dazzling Dame
PLACE Wild Kiss

This field was insanely difficult to judge. Well done for producing such top quality horses, guys.
