There comes a point in every BTB writer\u2019s career when a horse they wrote off as having less than a prime time chance knocks over the apple cart. This leaves said writer covered with apple sauce. Saturday Mach Red\u2019s gold medal performance did just that to yours truly. For a look at how the 4 year old filly made me look silly continue on with this article. If you get shy about embarrassing moments for others this article may not be for you. <\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0<\/P>

The 4 year old daughter of Coronado<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>\u2019s Quest x Spinning World x Secretariat was predicted to be a pace factor and not much else. She broke slower than expected and never really got involved. The 102 was a nice spf though and bodes well for the future for Ireland<\/I><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> and Inaspin.<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0<\/P>

EAAA Racing<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B> sent out the 4 year old daughter of Seeking The Gold x Northern Dancer x Seattle Slew which I expected to be right there when stretch run begins. She was coming hard late and finished 4th<\/SUP> but the winner refused to be caught by anyone. Hard luck and a photo keeps her off the podium<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0<\/P>

EWC <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>sent out a lovely daughter of Viscount x Rahy x Mr P who had won her last two. I feared a bounce off the 114. Well something went awry for jeffdrew\u2019s trainee who never fired and finished second last. It will be one you\u2019ll draw a line through in the PP charts.<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0<\/P>

Minnesota<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>sent out a daughter of Brahms x Pentelicus x Bold Ruler who is made her third start since July 5th. I did not give her much chance and she ran like she may have been a touch short coming in here. Not her best effort and a nice break may refresh this one back to the top of her game.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Vermont<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:State>\u2019s <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>favorite<\/SPAN> daughter of Storm Cat x Seeking the Gold x Alydar was predicted to shrug off a poor performance leading up to this race. Unfortunately that lead up was a portent of bad things to come as she ran up the track. Lasthope may be back to the drawing board with his charge.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

PP 6<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> 64388<\/A> GOLD BERNSTEIN TR <\/B>meguire6th JKY M Murano 18\/1<\/SPAN><\/U><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Blazing Saddles<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B> Bernstein x Goldminer\u2019s Gold x Gilded time was thought to be talented and in good form, yet perhaps over her head.. That is pretty much how it worked out. Sometimes a trainer takes one for the team and meguire did so here.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

PP 7<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> 110773<\/A> CAROL OF THE BELLS TR <\/B>deyoto3 JKY B Renfroe 9\/1<\/SPAN><\/U><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Queensland<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> offered us the millionaire daughter of Hennesy x Private Account x Dr Fager. I expected this one to make a lot of noise, but something went drastically wrong and Carol finished dead last. We hope that when deyoto gets her back to the barn all is well.<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

PP 8<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> 111300<\/A> SWEET SISTER MERCY TR <\/B>zwango1 JKY F Gossett 9\/1<\/SPAN><\/U><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Champion Del Penn<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B> sent out the legendary daughter of Kingmambo x NijinskyII x Secretariat. The defending Breeders Bowl Distaff champ was all out for 6th<\/SUP> here as traffic and Mach Red were too much to overcome.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Rash\u2019s <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>daughter of Congaree x Lost Code x Fappiano had a nice string of allowance efforts on her card. I thought she might be sitting on some excitement for her fans and she was. Her BRONZE medal performance came while well out running her odds and while she4 never really threatened the winner, it was still a super performance and one I know Taffy is super proud of. <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Kentucky Horsemen <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>had the<\/SPAN> daughter of Streetcry x Dixieland Band x Turn-To as their entry. I thought she was not at her best at the moment and she really wasn\u2019t. She never really found her footing on the fast dirt and ran a race that was proud effort but less than her best.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Hispano Parlante <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>old lady Forty Niner x Seattle Slew x Buckpasser conceded nothing to the younger gals. \u00a0<\/SPAN>I thought she would not out run her odds. She ran a real nice race that on another day may have been a great race. It was just not good enough here.<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Northwest Racing Circuit\u2019s <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>chosen standard bearer was the daughter of Thunder Gulch x Kris S x Forli<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>. I thought she may make the podium for a medal. Instead the very consistent gal threw a clunker here and was well beaten. Another who got lost in the back.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

PP 13<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> WOETTE’S STATUE TR <\/B>plstable JKY W McClendon 11\/1<\/SPAN><\/U><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Benelux <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>sent out my choice the daughter of Statue of Liberty x Kris S x Hawaii<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>. I thought around mid race I may have been right. But woe to Woette she was outkicked by several of the other ladies and despite a thrilling effort she finished 7th<\/SUP>.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

GRSimsters <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>day in a microcosm may have been represented by this daughter\u00a0 Unbridled\u2019s Song x AP Indy x Bold Bidder. She made a stunning move showing a burst only found in the best of horses. Alas her freight train finish was only good enough for Silver as her charge ran out of track. SILVER medals are nothing to sneeze at though. I am sure daninja is super proud of this super filly. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

PP 15<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> 35061<\/A> EIRENE TR <\/B>airtiger JKY J White 24\/1 <\/SPAN><\/U><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Alpine Turf Club\u2019s <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>daughter of Johannesburg<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> x Affirmed x Topsider did not appear to be in her best form. When the gate opened she dropped to dead last and was only able to pick off a few in the stretch. Still running in the biggest event of the sim season is a cause for deep pride. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>\u00a0<\/P>

The CR Racers <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>scintillating daughter of Forty Niner x Danzig<\/st1:place> x Nijinsky II had not won since April and still hasn\u2019t. She ran a huge race and was just a few hairs from being on the podium. Her exciting charge came from a bit too far back to catch the winner and she was a bit unlucky to not win a medal of some type finishing 5th<\/SUP> with a 105 spf.<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

PP 17<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> 76922<\/A> MACH RED TR <\/B>troync5 JKY B F Abman 22\/1<\/SPAN><\/U><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Great Plains <\/SPAN><\/I><\/B>selection committee of one picked the winning daughter of Red Ransom x Machiavellian x Hoist The Flag. Her speed figs were lower than the best in this field and had come against softer company. But while I was looking elsewhere for my winner, smart money was being place on her beak.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Mach Red sat just off the sizzling pace and swept by them when it was winning time. She just outlasted the fast closing Desecration Smile by nearly a length. Her 110 spf was a career best. Brilliant ride, fantastic training, shrewd selction = Glorious Upset. Say hello to you Equinics champ Mach Red. GOLD medal winner.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

This super fine daughter of Buddha x Belong to Me x What a Pleasure set the dazzling pace that would bottom most of this field out. She also found that pace to be too much for her to carry for 8f. Around the third call she packed it in and faded back into the pack. Still to get a few calls in a equinics race is no shame.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

THE OUTCOME<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

It was a wide open and balanced field of top older gals and I want to thank them and their connection for running one of the most exciting races of the day here in Vermont. Legends fell and writers rep\u2019s took it the chops. Mach Red\u2019s lifetime best performance came at long odds and in the best spot possible. You have to feel for Desecration Smile because her effort would have desecrated most fields but here was only good for Silver. The battle for third was real tight and Incontato lucked out over two other super game horse to take home the Bronze medal. What a day, what a race. Congrats to all that participated.<\/SPAN><\/P>
