Samantha Nicole, full sister to...

[Merlinsky]

Ha, well one of us had to do it. Ever since people realized Rachel had a full sister, they've been waiting for this. She's got a yearling half brother by Lookin At Lucky named Dolphus so go ahead and add him to your stable mail if you want. Not sure if Lotta Kim stayed in foal to Malibu Moon but supposedly she was bred to him in 2013.

Hope Samantha Nicole does well. Barbara Banke said SN would've gone for more at the sale but she had sesamoiditis--still sold for $700,000. I hate it when you have such hopes from their pedigree and then they just end up the underachieving younger sibling. Happens more often than not. There's one more Barbaro brother to start--Pennmarydel--and turns out he's gonna be slow to get to the races as he's already 17 hands.

15 minutes to the race.. She's 1/9 of course.

Someone just tweeted she's bucking and rearing in the paddock. Might be running her race as we speak and not on the track.

Here's the replay.

came out very awkwardly, once settled on the backstretch she moved nicely and finished up well, but had no chance from the break- she needed that but she looks like she may be ok

I can't wait for this one to meet Ebblouisante somewhere down the line in a NW1 so the fans of each sister can duke it out in the parking lot.

I thought she kinda just clunked around the track, pretty shitty horses behind her also.
