First Trip to Winner's Circle
Had to go to Chantilly, France to get it, but our 2yo filly (with Team Valor) Spanish Romance (Rip van Winkle) won wire-to-wire today against four colts and geldings. I thought she was going to get caught by the odds-on favorite (who was 3 for 3 coming into the race), but she looked him in the eye and pulled away. Here's a video of the race.

Considering Royal Ascot next, but I'll be playing hockey in Toronto, so I'll have to watch that one on TV. Afterwards, the Chantilly management bought us a bottle of champagne. It was the best glass of bubbly I ever enjoyed. Love this sport. Cheers, Otis
