Apple Stakes
Win: Tears No More (nose)
Place: Mighty News

Tears No More was hungry for a win and he put in a gutsy performance today and was able to get his nose down on the wire first. 

Water Lily Stakes
Win: Miss Josephine
Place: Refute (nose)
Show: Impress The Moonlight

Miss Josephine came out today and put on a show, something clicked when the gates opened and she was able to outrun Refute and Impress the Moonlight. Refute was able to hold off the charging Impress The Moonlight but she probably won't be denied next time out. All very nice horses guys.


Pineapple Cup
Win: Grey's Wisdom
Place: Meritorious
Show: Everyday Smile

Grey's Wisdom has been rocketing up the ranks fast and he wasn't to be denied today. I do love Everyday Smile Lacee, I always have but she lacked a start and she hasn't run in awhile, I saw her needing a prep race before really getting back into the swing of things. I think she'll bounce back nicely for you.

CORONATION STAKES*
Win: Taboo (whisker)
Place: Jazzasoleil
Show: Trinity
4th: Girl Talk (9-12)

DQ: Girl Talk    

Alexia you can DQ Girl Talk's result here, we all make mistakes like this once in a while . Frosty I originally had Trinity to win this but this is her third week in a row of running, she just couldn't keep up today. Jazzasoleil put up quite a fight here and gave Taboo a real scare today, I think all these fillies will do great things come the TTT! 

[Cruisey]

Oscarianna Stakes
WIN Sweet Inferno
place Van Guard

Well Kenny, both of your horses did fabulous and Sweetie just managed to edge out the stallion today.

Oops, I will DQ Girl Talk from that - thanks CC

CORONATION CUP*- G5+ 12F T 3YO
WIN Take Flight
PLACE Lissome
SHOW Vagabond
fourth Devil's Flair
fifth Eavesdropper
sixth Dragonheart

Dragonheart and Eavesdropper are both nice horses, but struggled against the class of the top four. They put their hearts into it, but just weren't ready for a field of this caliber. Consider dropping them down a class to get them ready for fields like this.

I was really torn for a winner here, I swapped the top four around a couple of times before really settling on an order. This was a photo finish between the top two, with third and fourth about a neck behind. Take Flight really had an advantage due to his racing style which is what eventually won out, with no front runners the preceder-heavy field was a little odd.

Keep up the good work, everyone.

Shortstride Maiden Dirt - M 6F D
WIN Rough Diamond
PLACE Sugar Demon
SHOW Love Forty Down

Megs - Don't be disheartened by this placing, she's a lovely horse and you wrote an awesome work but the other two have experience and HoTY races on their side. She'll be moving up the fields in no time.

Isa - Sugar Demon really benefited from this outing and has finally broken into the top three, she's full of fire and should improve from here on.

CC - Congrats on her maiden win

Oceania Stakes - G4 10F D
WIN Red Admiral
PLACE Ghost Rider
SHOW Rules Of Passion
fourth Flaming Confidenza

[creativecause]

Monarch Stakes - G3 12F D
Win: Fifty In Front (neck)
Place: Coco Cabana (nose)
Show: Saintly Touch
4th: Ivory Storms

This was an odd race for everyone with no front runner Ivory Storms was forced on the lead and the pace was simply too slow for any of the closers to get there today. Fifty In Front took his time and battled gamely with Coco Cabana for this win. I wouldn't be discouraged by anyone's placing here this was a pretty competitive G3 field here. Ivory Storms suffered from this really weird pace situation, I wouldn't let it worry you too much Isa he'll bounce back. I placed saintly touch where he was because I didn't see him outrunning the top two in this stage of the year, but you do have an up and comer on your hands ripley

Athens Sprint - G2/5F/D
Win. Mainspring
Place. Alucard
Show. Sweetness Unlimited

Fast enough race to rival the Test Stakes over at The Wire. Mainspring left the gate flying and was not headed once in the stretch. He won by a half length.

2nd: EXCALIBUR'S STONE
3rd: Beyond the Lies

Misty Maiden Stakes - M 11F T
1st: First Class
2nd: Sweet Mimosa
3rd: IMITATION'S LOVE

[LK]

Can I get feedback on Beyond the Lies?

[Sammy]

Can I also get feedback for Imitations Love? Please.

[Deleted]

Sammy: It was hard one to judge, but sadly the front runners were stronger here. She tried her best but simple couldn't catch them up.

LK: Another hard one to judge and Beynd the lies alomst reached second place but at the bend Excalibur's Stone managed to creep past and took it.

They both great horses and I am sure they would win they next race, more experince on the track would welcome them greatly.

PS. I am crap with feedbacks
