The only thing we really learned about Flies today is that she can take a hip check!

She got bumped repeatedly at the start and pinched back which put her in a tough spot for a 5f race, where momentum is everything.

She did battle back and put herself in position for a stretch run, but tiring horses in front of her angled her 8-10 wide and she could not uncork a straight run.

Ralph was very positive after the race, saying she will win one of these things one day.

And then a few races later, a Value Plus (CFF's sire) won the G3 Canadian Turf. Congrats to Long on Value! Always good to see more black type for Value Plus.

What an amazing experience to be in the paddock before the race. Still pinching myself.

Looking forward to watching Khozan tomorrow.
