Flying Start
A trainer's new years resolution can often be to have a better year than the one before. In this game having everything come together and work out successfully is rare. However, we have gotten off to a great start this year!
With the first time starter Moonlight Mimosa going from gate to wire and winning by a comfortable 8 lengths in her debut the stable felt justified in avoiding a race a week earlier, with poor track conditions. The ultra confident ride from Jesus Bracho shows that a good rider can execute a plan to the letter.
Two days later our next starter found the claiming conditions to his liking. American Jet held off the competition to win by a length and a half after Jesus was able to steal that distance coming away from the gate. In short sprint races on speed favoring tracks its about "catch me if you can".
With a couple more young horses waiting to make their debuts its nice to get some winners early in the year and get a line on how we measure up.
