Because Fast is Awesome

I had a show this morning and then we had the two fillies running this afternoon. Between all of that and a nasty ear infection, I'm exhausted. So, just a quick post for now.

Colinda Dawn

The fiancé and I knew Colinda Dawn had talent. Her first race she had run green and got a little tired. Not what we were hoping, but not the end of the world either. Today, she ran a lot more like we believed she could. You can watch the replay here (race 5 MSW at ABQ on 10/4). 

At this point, I figured if she didn't make a mistake, she was gone (she's on the lead).

Pulling away.

Gone.

She went 57.21 for five furlongs (the track is fast, but that's still smokin' for a two year old) and won by 10 1/4 lengths!

It was Breast Cancer Awareness day at the track, so she got a pink blanket. We never use this type on the horses, but it's still nice to win it :)

I'm also really proud of the other filly we had in the race! Five furlongs is shorter than what Insightful Lady needs, but she still ran fourth with odds of 30-1. It was the first time we've run her since we've had her in training and she improved significantly from her first race. I'm looking forward to running her again!

Beefs was really good at the show, but more on that later.

A good day in Hellbuequerque? It does happen occasionally.
