Three steeds run; three steeds score

Most of Comedy Central’s Steeds of Breed My Steed fame are working on their second lifetime starts these days, and last week was no exception. Three of the 2yos hit the track, and all three scored points in the  eight-month-long contest. 

Placing highest was Sapphire Sally. The Tapit filly recovered from a dismal fifth-place on debut for trainer Squirrel to place a much better second. She probably preferred the extra furlong distance. Breeder Tartar was no doubt pleased to see the 67 SP as it signals Sally may develop into a decent runner.

Also scoring was the debuting Dylan’s Delight. Trained by Leung, the Dylan Thomas colt went six panels on dirt to place third by less than two lengths. Aboot is the breeder of record.

The third steed to run was Hannah’s Crying. In his second start, the Street Cry colt  bred by Npark ran fourth by about 7 lengths.  The speed figure earned was six points faster than on debut, but trained Shag would no doubt have preferred another win rather than a fourth. 

After 5 weeks of competition, the current leader is Eff Canada trained by Cmd and bred Redhill.
