I just saw some video and she looks an awful lot like Rachel, including the broken blaze.

If playing against her in the show pool, the filly on the far outside is the one to use. I think her name is Handmade.

Very funny.. :D

[Pensacola Pete]

I'm looking forward to the race. I plan on making a lot of money from it.

[davew]

Very funny.. :D

That is an amazing video, I do not understand the :D

[OntheRail]

She's got the look... ;)

Can't wait to see how she runs.

[Mystic]

That is an amazing video, I do not understand the :D
When I opened it on my phone, it went to a naughty video I guess and said it had been removed due to copy right.
I mean look to the right of the video..I guess that's why.

[Grits]

Thanks so much for posting the video, Class.

She looks great! And I love the song, "Fade Into You". Its a favorite.

Wishing all the best Sunday afternoon for Samantha Nicole, Stonestreet, the Morrisons, and especially for Steve Asmussen and Scott Blasi, who I'm really glad to see training Rachel's sister.

This is a very special filly , whether or not she stays on the track or not ,
she has great value as Rachel's full sister .
Samantha Nicole and Rachel are Lotta Kim's surviving progeny . She had a colt who died of Wobblers syndrome and was reported to have had some
difficulty in foal during her early and initial breeding seasons . When Rachel
was running and Morrison sold her , I'm sure he had every intention of
going back to Medaglia Doro .
Now with Rachel's unfortunate situation , SN has no doubt a future as a
desirable broodmare prospect . Of course I want to see her run though
and I'm extremely excited for the barn !

Looked at Samantha's FB page , she's looking quite fit and looks like she has the shark eye ! Great looking filly !

Hmmmn. It doesn't do that for me. It just shows the video of her and there are a bunch of animal videos on the right.

What else have you been watching? ;)

[classhandicapper]

Now with Rachel's unfortunate situation


Have they made any decision on whether to breed her back?

[Mystic]

Hmmmn. It doesn't do that for me. It just shows the video of her and there are a bunch of animal videos on the right.

Lol.. I opened the link on my phone.. not sure why it didn't just take me to the video like the computer did.

Go figure.

[Grits]

She opens at 1-9.:faint:

She may win today. I'm not getting involved in the race. But I like her a lot better next time.

[Grits]

WOW! She can't keep her hooves on the ground in the paddock. I agree about today, still, if she goes I'm happy for them.

[Mystic]

She obviously has a bit of filling out to do, but boy! She's almost a spitting image of Rachel.

[mostpost]

She may win today. I'm not getting involved in the race. But I like her a lot better next time.
I'm going to wheel her with the other four in an exacta. See what happens.
Cancelled the bet

[Robert Fischer]

I've got 25 to win on the :3: and :4: , but I will be rooting for Samantha Nicole to run big(she better not clunk up by a nose!) just the same.

[classhandicapper]

Not too bad. She'll win next out in a similar field.

[mostpost]

Cancelled the betSmartest thing I did today.!

[Mystic]

Oh well... Nice first race I reckon.

[Robert Fischer]

She ran pretty well.
Didn't look like a future Preakness winner, but she had her moments.

[Grits]

Second first time out doesn't bother me at all. She closed well.

[mostpost]

Smartest thing I did today.!
The smartest thing I did today was immediately preceded by the dumbest thing I did in quite some time. Some how I got it in my mind that Samantha Nicole was the three horse. When I looked at the exacta probables at TVG I said wow, I have to play that. Of course SN was the five. Where is the "Duh" icon when you need it?

I didn't play the race. Maybe I should have, but I was going to make a show bet on Handmade hoping for a bridgejumper. The show pool wasn't really lopsided.

[FantasticDan]

I watched the replay a couple times, and she smacked the right side of her head against the gate door as she came out. Couldn't have felt too good. The BH article mentions it:

I guess they thought this was the Belmont Stakes.

[OntheRail]

She ran well... despite the ride she was given. Should move forward in next outing.

[CincyHorseplayer]

No biggie for a firster with potential big goals in mind.The chart sounds like she had a real rodeo adventure today!

[SharpCat]

I'm not sure how good the field was but the winner Handmade looked halfway decent. She was 3-4 wide all the way around won by 6 1/2 and galloped out maybe 15 in front.

[Stillriledup]

I agree, i like her, she's nice, i like what i see on tape, hopefully she can grow from this and move forward next time. :ThmbUp:

Nothing wrong with the ride. The filly broke awkwardly; it happens. And the romping winner was best anyway.

[DeltaLover]

Given the expectations and what I saw yesterday, I have to conclude that she will be a great dissapointment for her connections...

Rosy did not keep her focused in the gate... which I believe lead to the head smack and awkward break. She would not of been my first chose on a high strung FTS.

Your acting like she Zippy Clippied and sat down in the gate. Ruffed her head up on gate and could of banged the bottom with front leg as well from the look of the head on, poor break wide trip, got second. Yep looks like they should run her at Pen for a tag. :rolleyes:
