Congrats nonetheless...

Thanks in advance...

No gaining. Held at bay by the winner. The winner started to pull away at the top of the stretch and KnS was the only one that went after her, but she couldn't close the gap at all.

The 4 was claimed by Calabrese.

Solid second. Very nice.

KNS is sure a hard-trier, honestly have to give her credit - thought physically she looked very well also thanks to Team Simon - congrats on another job well done - will check back later for trip reports and pics, everyone have a good rest of afternoon !

nice second ! great job chuck and tc! thank you!

she ran a very solid second, considering that they let the 1 walk 1:14 and change she had no shot at winning, I am impressed she finished well being so close to the lead. Velez gets along nicely with her, nice job Chuck!

I take it that she behaved well in the paddock?

Agree it was a very solid effort for KnS. The #1 is a grizzled veteran (10 wins for 160K). Could she get a lifetime top BSF based on the 2 1/2 length loss to the #1 while running virtually the same race as last time out(1:39 for a mile on the poly) when Stage Glitter recieved a 73 BSF. Can't believe she was 8-5 at one point against this field. Great job by T.C. and the gang getting her ready again. Once again Chuck demonstrates his keen eye for horses with this claim. 6 starts/ 1-2-1 for 20K as a Dee Tee runner. IMO this horse still has room to improve as she got to the races very late and seems to still be learning. Congrats to everyone involved with Dee Tee Stables and thanks again to Steve and Chuck for letting me tag along.

Ran very well considering the lack of pace. Had Stage Glitter and Cheyenne Spirit gone a second or so faster up front, I think she wins. Still ran on gamely despite having no chance to collar Stage Glitter. Props to Team Simon for yet another good run out of this chick.
