Not only becuase this was Graph Racing... but in 2 yo races, I love a horse who has actually shown she can pass a horse and close lengths.  She was five out in a 4 1/2 furlong race and won. No other horse had closed more than 1/2 length.

Beautiful... what a nice horse with impeccable breeding.

You got that right. She just kept plugging on after she turned for home and switched, the obvious moment of truth.

I thought Graph Racing was going into unchartered waters (early two-year old buy) with this one, but obviously they knew what they were doing.

Congrats to a very deserving bunch

And I didn\'t even bet on it...........

made up for some of the pain from the Arlington Classic.  Pounded Proudinsky at 8-1... that was painful.

And to think she won this race on the same day they ran the Mother Goose.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I believe she was vanned off.

Most Storm Cat\'s look good at 4.5 to 6 furlongs. This one is a Storm Cat Granddaughter. Looks like she might have inherited a bit of the Storm Cat ouchiness.

Not many June raced 2YO\'s stay together in their 3YO year, but if this one didn\'t come loose her sire did run a pretty good Belmont and Travers. Storm Cat two generations removed is certainly better than Storm Cat one generation removed.
