For the sport of kings, why is it always the Queens who we fans love so much? Probably, because lately the ladies of racing have been giving it their all and winning, making us come back for more and more. Over the past year, Rachel Alexandra, Zenyatta, Blind Luck, Havre de Grace, and a majority of this year’s four year old fillies are all proving themselves to be champs on the racetrack. Awesome Feather (I’m confident she will keep on the track she’s going on) is yet another name to add to that list. The 2010 two year old champ won Saturday’s Sunshine Millions Distaff by 5 3/4s lengths. She is a powerhouse horse, who is telling everyone that she is not letting her injury as a three year old bring her down. According to her Facebook page her jockey, Jeffrey Sanchez said: “She broke so sharp I don’t fight her too much” … “I know when I sent her she kept going-she don’t stop” and well that is completely true. This filly is not stopping for anyone. In her article about her race on the Daily Racing Form, they report that her next start will most likely be the Rampart, at Gulfstream Park on March 31st.
I cannot wait for later on in this year when horses like AF, HdG, Royal Delta, It’s Tricky, Plum Pretty, Awesome Maria, etc. will all battle it out on the track…. Although, I may have to wait for Breeder’s Cup CLASSIC 2012 for those match ups!!
