Hate to see she didnt win, but you gotta give the winner credit. Came from dead last and 5 wide and closed into a crawling pace (1/2 went in :50 and 3/4 in 1:16) Would have been nice to see KnS not have trouble at the top of the stretch, but that is the chance you take when riding the rail and saving ground for the entire race, the hole doesnt always open.

That being said, the horse i bet ran 4th:o

Congrats to all. She had a ton left and just couldn't find a good opening in time.

That is what you get when you don't consult me on name choices first. :rolleyes: :p

51 aint crawling there, I have seen 53's before. She gets the 10's trip and she wins by 5

God help her...:p

blocked from the espn site and had to go to plan B to watch - WOW WHAT A CLOSING KICK !!!

will have to check back, but somebody please post when they hear she's come back okay... WOW !! Good job Team Dee Tee...

Good spot by Chuck! Can't wait for her next race, and I'd love it to be at Tampa with Rosemary riding - there's a little turf stakes in February .... :D

Dude...thats crawling.

she didn't get the trip I was hoping for. I thought she would let them go and sit chilly then walk by them in the stretch. She showed some fight in her. Disappointed she was denied the win but happy she ran well.

hope everything is ok and everyone is safe

True. I think I saw her swishing her tail and looking a bit cranky at the end, maybe would like to go back to a mile - but yes, she hung on very bravely for her win.

beth, any idea if someone down there is getting a photo from the track photographer. would like to get one. he must have got a very nice shot at some point?

Dang it - somebody has to be in contact by telephone, someone tell me Socks or TC lead her away after the race!

Awesome effort! Better trip, she wins for fun IMO.

Smoked the Exacta which makes the 2nd place finish even sweeter...

Her trip wasn't bad luck. Rosemary could have come off the rail at the 1/2. She did run very well.

No claims according to Equibase:

Just spoke to Chuck.. She came back great.

Rosemary was pissed that she couldn't get the win... Said we ran the best horse. The #1 backed up in her face badly on the turn which was the start of the trouble. The 10 bumped the 6 who bumped KNS, and by the time Rosie could gather and get out, the 10 had already had the jump...

Chuck very satisfied with this first start as I hope Dee Tee partners and fans are... Appreciate the support.

About 15 down at Oldsmar and they're having a nice time... We'll get that elusive "W" along the way soon!

I thought she relaxed wonderfully on the backstretch (almost to the point where I tought that she was done). Especially after it looked like it got a little tight going into the first turn. Then she exploded when clear in the stretch. Tough beat, but plenty of positives to be taken out of the race.

Thanks, Caj! Whew! What a party in Tampa this afternoon :)

There are a boatload of possiblities for her towards the end of the January. Looking at the condition book now

January 17th - Alw/Opt Claim 4+, Abt 1Mile(T)
January 19th - Alw NW2, 4+, Abt 1Mile(T)
January 27th - Alw/Opt Claim 4+, 8.5F (T)

And many more

Tvg....
 

Only showed the stretch drive! They made it sound like a troubled trip, once she got in the clear she ran on very well for second. Congrats to all, for a good second.:)
