Fireandshine Tonight at Northfield Park

Post 9 - But could be 1/9.  Anthony drops her from very competitive tries in the Buckeye Stallion Series into a maiden trot.  She finished her last race like she was shot out of a canon at the top of the stretch.  She just needs to trot her race.

Good luck Lonnie.  She resembles her sire, Catch The Fire.  I hope she breaks thru tonight for her maiden score.

From  your mouth to the Horse Gods ears.  Let her stay flat and pace strongly.

You're quite the knowledgeable person in Ohio racing circles.  Thank you so much for being part of the forum.  I hope we can continue to grow it.  The more members the better.  I have been posting about it on different Facebook groups.

Whelp, that was a disappointment.  Fireandshine couldn't possibly have gotten away better from the second tier.  He was literally on the helmet of the #1 who went wire-to-wire.  I'm no driver, just a backseat one.  I thought Anthony should have moved up the backstretch.  The #1 was too comfortable and just drew off in the stretch.  Perhaps Anthony was too cocky?  We await the post mortem later tonight.

She is still a very green baby, so I think Anthony handles her differently today vs. next spring.  2 year olds, especially this time of year, are like HS athletes.  Happy to nurture them along but never bet on them.  Hang in there.  She has a lot of upside.

Sounds good to me.  That is the exciting part, we have a lot of two-year-olds, and we'll get to watch them mature, and have another year of stakes races ahead of them.

Thank you for level-setting my expectations.
