Title: Testa Rossi
Post by: Silver Charm on March 08, 2014, 06:58:43 AM
Good Luck Jim. Tough post but the right Trainer and Jock and running style to have her ready and get it done. First one back at 3 after a promising @YO campaign is always the scariest anticipation wise. GL!!!

Thanks alot

She\'s the best I\'ve ever owned so I\'m just trying to enjoy every minute of it because as we just saw with Top Billing, the ride can end far too quickly.

I\'m very excited for today.

Thanks very much and good luck!

Agreed. Monsterous. And good ride by the Jock as he moved when someone began to approach him outside. Final time of 43 and 3 stacks up really well with the Older mares who went in 51 and 2. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks alot guys. Really appreciate all the nice words

It\'s a tremendous privilege to own a filly like this.

If she comes out of the race the right way, we are going to ship her to Keenland to train over the poly. If she likes it,we will try the Ashland. It would be really neat to win that race again having won it two years ago with Lilacs and Lace. This filly breathes different air than Lilacs did but that one was a poly specialist and got very lucky that day.

Hopefully we can get a good sense if she likes the poly in her breeze and we can go from there

Thanks again to all, great day of racing today.
