KNS, run hard and come back safe and sound.

curious

libtard because it is totally dependant on others?

Congrats on the family and hope for a happy healthy baby

Good Luck to KNS & Team Simon!

Lets have a safe trip, and keep the wind in your face. Go Team Simon!

Good luck. Wish I were there to see our girl make her way back to the track. Have a safe trip to all.

Good Luck to TC with her in the Paddock

AMEN to that brother !!!!!!!

Good Luck today! I am forced to watch this at the 2nd Avenue and 69th Street NYC OTB as I have a 2 o'clock appointment nearby. The good news is that the last time I had to go to that $*ithole she won.

an hour out and admit kinda nervous, know she's a pain in the rear end to handle and not a beauty queen like SWLY but gots a real soft spot for KNS :{>: , hope everything is going well with her this morning.. good luck Team Simon..

Anyone watching?
 

Cannot watch at work - appreciate any play by play that is available.

1, 3, 4 all 3-1, KNS 9-5.

they had a pony in the paddock stall covering her for a few minutes, then [looked like] cherie swooped up got the blinks on [smooth move!], got her saddled and theyre out on the track warming up - looks just fine - shaking her head a little bit because of the blinkers around her ears - warm and sunny today so a little lather between her hind legs but nothing to worry about, didnt see any other visible sweat or signs of distress at all, seemed real real happy to be out there... 3 mtp

0 mtp the jock is real relaxed and his feet are even out of the irons headin towards the gate - GOOD LUCK !

took the lead 3 wide, faded to third

A good 3rd. Opened up at the top of the stretch but tired late.

damn....

Did she just need this race? On paper, she looked like the class of the field. She's beaten better, and it was a big step down.

jmho but think she needed this one - broke real well, real alert, seemed eager to run, pressed the pace and just ran outta steam nailed by two come from behinders, she's definitely with her friends though...

I think so. I won't be surprised to hear Chuck say she came back blowing pretty hard. She pretty much stopped on the runout.

The two longshots were the two to pass her.

damn, watching Gulfstream Race 3 (small screen). has the #1 stolen the Dee Tee silks?

Early preview of the Chuck Report... Indeed, a tired mare at race's end. Rosario had no choice except to go on early when she broke so sharply. He knew she was starting to tire approaching the three eighths but he hoped she'd have enough left to carry to the wire. She actually dug in when the winner confronted her and kept trying to the finish. She of course had no chance to answer the wide runner-up.

Even with the slow looking splits, she did all the heavy lifting here, burying the other two speeds in the race, who vied with her for favoritism. KNS isn't a horse you can tighten the screws on, so Chuck was hoping her back bottom would be enough to top this kind of group, and it nearly was.

On the plus side, she looked as good as she ever has physically, and her more robust posture hopefully will allow for a quicker than normal (for her) run back. More from Chuck when he returns from the Lexington area. Thanks to Cherie and the team for the work put in today, those that made the trip to Florence, and those that watched and rooted on the quirky but loveable mare...

She was unquestionably the best horse in the race as the other two who went did drop back and she was 3 wide, unfortunately, the top two finishers got the trip that she likes. On the pace does not seem to work well for her. I wish she could have stayed on for second as I used her heavily with the 6 who, IMO, was the horse to beat and at 14-1 the exacta would have been very nice.

Just watched the race on calracing.com, was hoping she held 2nd (always "backwheel" DT horses) but at least she was a factor and hopefully will return quickly.

Another fun day in Dee Tee land, even though not a win :) ... Cherie was pretty slick having the pony in the stall to settle/block her (she reared a little twice walking up the track to the paddock, a little handful). Made a beautiful move around the turn, and wanted to come back and get that 6 horse once passed, but next time.

Went back to the receiving barn with Wing while she cooled out (he got lots of good pictures), she was fine at that time.

The guys went back for an afternoon at the races, and Wing left for the 4-5 hour drive home, so hopefully he can get pics up tomorrow.

A fun day - hope Rampillion can get her race!

I just watched the race also. She looked like she wanted to win.

I thought K' n S' looked good physically in the paddock today. She looked happy to be back racing again as she was in the bit for the whole race as opposed to her last effort. A little leg weary in the stretch, but a good effort considering the first off the lay-off try. She looked fine walking back to the barn. She may not be the fastest in the stable, but she's done a nice job for Dee Tee filling in the gaps while we waited for the babies to mature and for SWLY to make her way back. Nice pick-up by Chuck. Also a great job by Cherie today.

And Bennie looked really nice! Like an "owner" ;)

" ... trainer says horse is ready and competitive, just have to pay the supplemental nomination ... have to remember to call NetJets ... the grandkids would enjoy being there, we'll need another suite .... " ;)

As always, fantastic photos. Thanks for posting.

"man this beer tastes good"

She was a little short. My fault, not hers. Will probably try her back on April 2nd in the same condition at TP.

Sounds good.

LOL - yeah, that too :p

I like the picture of the pony rider w/KNS ... "The Magic Earlock"

"Good thing I bought out the whole upstairs so I wouldn't be bothered....look how crowded it is down there...suckas"

LMAO :tro:
