The BloodHorse, and was taken after her 19th straight win and her third straight win of the Lady's Secret Handicap. She's awesome. She's large. She's in charge. She did her little dressage posting kicking strutting piaffe dance before the race. She ran last forever and ever and ever and then finally went wide around around wide around the horses and at the 1/16th pole, put her ears forward and blazed by the leader for a half-length win. The girl does like to give her money's worth. Then she stopped in front of the stands dead in her tracks to receive her adulation and to make her fans weep weep weep with ecstasy and then she did an impatient pawing dance in the winner's circle -- boring! This gal is headed to the Breeders Cup Classic in November to attempt her 20th straight win and her second straight win of that race -- She is the only female horse in all history who won the Classic. After that race, she will retire. She has mostly run on synthetic surfaces and this Classic is on a dirt track, so her trainer, John Shirrefs, is hoping to demonstrate her true range by closing out her career with a second straight win on that type of surface. There are no words for this horse. Her trainer said that she is a gift. And that's all he could muster. She has passed beyond being described with words.!
