National Pride

[blackthroatedwind]

Here is a list of Gary Contessa's winning firsters over the last 12 months....

11 wins from 68 starters for a 3.05 ROI but that includes Saturday's $86 winner.

National Pride and the aforementioned Another Foose obviously haven't run back. Here are the other nine and what happened to them. I will start with the best.

Brown Eyed Belle - broke her maiden December first and did not race again for over five months. She has subsequently won 2 races ( out of six or seven ).

Gansevoort - broke maiden December 9th, returned to win again on Jan 18th and has been unsighted since.
