Some of you might remember this Zimbabwe bred filly/mare that won the Dubai Duty Free and was came over for Team Valor and won her only US start before being retired with an injury. Anyhooo, her first foal is scheduled to debut in the 7th race at Belmont Saturday in a 7F turf race. Sadler's Wells is the sire of this 3YO.

That was brutal when she got hurt... Was exciting as hell when she came here.

Did you expect much of her when she came here? That was one of the all-time negative trainer changes

It wasn't a "was" -- it was actually an "is" . . . She was in training over here, raced and was retired after she got hurt, under the care of her new trainer.

The trainer change was Mike de Kock to Eliott Walden.

Barry Irwin would never put any of his horses, that he uses others money to buy, in the hands of an incompentent trainer. He uses guys like Mark Hening & Ralph Nicks as his trainers.
