With our 4th dismal race in a row, we drew a line under
THE WINTER OF DISCONTENT AT THE FAIRGROUNDS
No Rabbits were on hand to watch this debacle where for the 4th time in a row we earned not a single PENNY!
The plan was to try to alter Not Falling Back's style of sprinting out to the lead, setting insane fractions - only to die in the lane, exhausted.
We instructed Jockey Jareth Loveberry to rate him back off the leaders and see if we could save some energy to get him to overtake the leaders in the stretch - but no can do.
Picture right is snagged from the video, where I placed an arrow by our collapsing steed. Alas, He came through the race, embarassed, but OK.
WELL NO MORE FAIRGROUNDS
AND WHO KNOWS WHERE WE GO NEXT AS
HAWTHORNE IS IN BANKRUPTCY!
OH, I JUST LOVE HORSE RACING!
