Thats the story of this weeks runners! We sent 10 runners to the track and only 5 managed to get a run but from those 5, three managed to get place cheques so cant complain too loudly!
The most relevant point here is that we changed our usual scratch instructions from "Scratch if No/No!" to "Scratch if OK-" (meaning a runner will be scratched if the Steward saw that the horse was rated only OK or worse in a race). This is not to say that had the extra 5 taken their places they would have won any money but the point is that they didnt get a chance.
Wooden Spoon continued her improvement finishing 4th in the G1 Coaching Club American Oaks and earning another solid $15,000. Two Schekles also ran in an Oaks race, this time the G3 Delaware Oaks to finish 3rd and earn $25,000. The final earner from the trio was ElectricBarbarella who ran in the G3 Sanford Stakes to get a nice $5,000 into his kitty.
Norwegian Blue ran a sluggish race to finish 5th whilst Danceswithwolves only managed 6th. Both will drop back in distance next time out.
