We almost decided not to go to Belmont today for Hidden Music's race because she's been so awful and it was such a cheap race. But she had been getting a little better in her last few races and the race was only 6 furlongs, compared to 7 furlongs in her last race where she faded in the final furlong.
Hidden Music looked beautiful in the paddock. More importantly,
she was calmer.
In the gate, when the bell sounded, Jose didn't hit her at all.
Still, she went for the front. This time she appeared to be running easily, not
rank as she had been in many of her prior races. Well, believe it or not, the
race was over. She raced in front wire-to-wire and only lengthened her lead in
the stretch to win easily by 4 1/2 lengths! Yay, Hidden Music.
Nice way to start the weekend! Hope yours is a good weekend too.
Best,
A.
