Nice little mare. I trained her for exactly 1 month this year after we claimed her for 12,000. She had 2 questionable tendons but a huge heart. I knew the old connections would take her back, which they did. She was classified perfectly and somehow, no one ekse claimed her. Congrats to all involved on a great racing career.
