Bitty Fillies Week 10 - Some Good, Some Bad

So, the router debuts didn't go quite so well as hoped, although some were nice.

Leave A Whisper did nicely in her first route race. The winner was Isawherstandnthere, who gave a monster effort and finished in 1:44.30. Whisper's speed figure was a tidy 75. Ironically, the filly that finished behind her was very closely related to the best mare I've owned, Accused Dreamer (Radee - Sway, by Loki Dynasty). Radee Report, third in Whisper's race, is a daughter of Radee out of a daughter of Sway.

She's Always Right won her 6 1/2 furlong allowance for the second win of her career. The little gal went to her knees at the start, settled just off the pace, and came home well for speed figure of 70 and a nice final time of 1:14.14.

Prairie Moon was fifth in her maiden race. She had the misfortune of being a speed horse in a race where the only speed that held was the winner, who is probably going to be freakishly good. At the second call, there was the winner leading and four more fillies just behind her within a length and a half of each other. All four faded, though Prairie Moon held on the best of the bunch. Next time out, we're going to hope for not quite so much speed.

Ashandarei and Itty Bitty Pretty are both making their debuts on Monday. Their races are full and some really tough fillies are up against them. I think Ashandarei is still toward the head of the class in her race, but we'll only see once they run. And I don't know if Bitty has a prayer against Leigh Ann's filly in her race. Eep!

Diamond Eyed is still being difficult about her equipment. Her most recent work in 46.76 is less than encouraging. She's just a finicky brat.

Edziza is still lighting up the workout boards, clocking a 57.83 for her most recent work. I received a message expressing interest in purchasing her, but she is absolutely not for sale for any price at the moment.

Paperback Novel inexplicably slowed down from her last work by 2/5 of a second. Hopefully it's just that she was a little off this morning and not that she's actually slowing down.
