Rising Fury Memorial Stakes* - 10F - T
WIN Princetta (length)
PLACE Passionate Flyer
SHOW Dare to Impress
4th Livin' the Jazz
5th A Royal Legacy

This wasn't a fast race. Passionate Flyer was forced to take the lead and he had Dare to Impress hot on him the whole race. While it wasn't fast in general, it was enough pressure on Passionate Flyer to take enough out of him to miss this win by a length. Dare just could not get past the top two and with Princetta running a perfect trip from the back the other two didn't stand a chance of catching the Hail to Prince daughter. Livin' the Jazz and A Royal Legacy are both great horses, but in this race they kind of got blocked from making their bids. I would recommend a more recent workout with both of them and try to vet their fields in their next races. They went up against some serious and more hardened competition than they were ready for.

On an added note. All of these horses could use more recent workouts.

True Enough Memorial Stakes* - 12F D
win GS Super Charged
place Coco Cabana
show Lusitania's Soldier
fourth Bellefire

GS Super Charged is a really strong horse, especially this season, and he was strong enough to win this race today. I've always liked this horse and I can't wait to see what else he does this season. His performance in the Senior Superstars Series is really setting him up for fantastic things to come.

Coco Cabana is another horse that I've kind of started to like. For some reason, I found his performance this year and current conditioning level strong enough to defeat the other two older horses today. I just really like this horse. He's had a sharp September and it's clear that going into October his sharpness isn't going to go away. He's had a lot of experiences earlier in the season that helped him perform well here.

Lusitania's Soldier and Bellefire are always both tough competitors. They just didn't come across to me as strongly as the top two today. They're both talented horses and you are doing nothing wrong, but I just really liked the top two today.
