Hello Chris,
This is just a quick line to let you know how the race went.
Well last night was very exciting and we are still on a high.  The filly ran a fantastic race and battled on hard to the line.  We were beaten by a head in the photo and by a colt, Robin the trainer was a bit disappointed but trainers don’t like coming second by such a short margin. It was great for John and I, because we saw what a battler she is and that she has determination to get to the front, once she got the gap she just took off and the ground she made up was amazing. It took about half a mile to pull her up so again that is a very good sign.
It was quite a rough race and she had a pink scuff mark on her side where the jockey’s boot had rubbed her and also a cut on her leg this morning. She got bumped and stopped a few times, and was last at the two furlong pole but if the jockey had pulled her to the outside she would have won and won by a lot I think. Robin says he thinks she will definitely win next time out so she will have a rest for about five days then start training again.
