She was wide but it didn't matter. She needed her last race and this was about right for her, coming back. She's the best three-year-old filly I've had. I'm just telling you, I'm very impressed with her.

It was an encouraging race. We saw that he probably fits there.

I want to see her finishing the race so that we can move farther later on. I don't think the distance is ideal. We want to run longer.

Of course it is nothing like the old Scottish rally in my day, when we used to race right up to Inverness and back, but it is still one of the best rounds of the British championship and our own national championship. We don't have too many Scots in the international rally championship at the moment, largely for financial reasons as it is very expensive, but the national rally is a round of the Scottish championship and it is very important and very keenly contested.

He's a big, strong homebred, and he looks like Giacomo, too. Same sire, same color.

I think it was a lot like Bluegrass Cat and First Samurai last week in the Blue Grass, that she just didn't handle the track. She will work again Friday, and then we will ship Saturday.
