Default Feeling So Pretty

13 year old gelding entered tomorrow in Keeneland's 7th. I love the Evening Attires & Tin Man's of the sport, but his last race comments are 'outrunned', 'pulled-up' etc. While he is racing primarily in hurdles he is doing so by being beat up to 35 lengths. While some of the horses in this field are seriously out-classed hasn't 'Pretty' really done enough?

he's in the prime of life. He really enjoys getting out and watching the other horses butts
get smaller and smaller on the horizon

she's actually a mare...which makes it that much more surprising that she is still running...she has graded stakes placings over fences...I'm surprised that no one tried to breed her, unless of couse someone did and she's infertile.
nice picture on pedigree query of her.

Not only she a stakes winning mare, she also traces tail female to a full sister of Bull Dog and Sir Gallahad.

I would guess that they are going to run her back in the Royal Chase like they did last year...on paper she probably looked hopeless in that race last year but she managed 3rd...maybe she'll have the same luck this year...

I was at her last race at Little Everglades, but I can't add anything to what the form said....maybe it was too many beers and too much BBQ.
