Weekend Stakes Beyers

[Merlinsky]

Huh, Risky Rachel won a stakes the same week her dam passes at Old Friends. It's been a rough month for them, but kind of poetic that her daughter does Dancin Renee proud when she did. Obviously the mare had no idea, but she hadn't run since 2012 due to a tendon injury so the timing was interesting. As we sometimes do with horses though, you can romanticize it to think that she 'did it for mom.'
