Y14 February Week 3

Coronation Cup
Win. Majestic Hero
Place. Call Of The Wild
Show. Samhain
Fourth. Miss Josephine

Majestic Hero is really thriving at this point, coming into his own and giving the three year old turf distance colts a hefty challenge. Call of The Wild is finally getting back into the swing of things, but Majestic Hero is really tough. Samhain is a wee bit tired after two impressive outings versus this group and the last win might have taken something out of him. The break that you have planned, looks mighty good. Miss Josephine is playing catch up right now against these males. A little outclassed, the bay filly is about ready to work her way up the ranks with more experience in the higher races.

CORONATION STAKES

WIN National Treasure (length)
Place Acantha (half length)
Show Prima Donna (neck)
4th In The Spotlight

National Treasure was perfectly placed to run a fantastic race and was able to close like she never closed before on the win to nab it by a length. I hope you plan to send her to the Turf Tiara or the Green Mile races because I think she'll be great either way

Acantha's closer like racing style after running with Prima Donna and In The Spotlight helped her immensely. She thought she had the win but didn't see National Treasure fly up on the outside until it was too late.

Prima Donna was on In The Spotlight's heels the whole way and was actually blocked in by Acantha on the final turn into the stretch and therefore didn't get to really make her move until too late.

In The Spotlight set a lightning pace that in the end she couldn't keep up. She still fought hard though and was only a neck behind Prima Donna in the end.

Overall this was a close race and all of these fillies are pretty great. Wonder if we'll see our first Turf Tiara Champion this year

[Kenren]

I was on the fence about the Tiara because she had a rocky start this year, but I'm thinking yes!

[Kirsten Jade]

probably won't see our first turf triple tiara winner... the competition is so fierce! one wins one race and the next wins the next. i think it'll be a neck to neck competition all season long it's exciting.
