  • Wish I could rember where I read it (I think on one of the other Haskell videos - but not sure). Two horses were mentioned: Native Dancer and another horse. (In addition to this I have read that American horses are bred for speed but European horses for stamina and soundness, which doesn't help either - 1100 to 1300 lbs of horse on their delicate slender legs - yikes!.) If I ever come across the post I'll put it on your video.

  • Thanks yes please do, A lot of thoroughbred breeders go to Europe to purchase their horses to mix the bloodlines.

  • @Tangospell1 I know you posted this comment a year ago, but I want to add I think it is interesting how the horses are trained over in Europe too.

  • Totally agree - she has been pushed to the limit - worry about her health and safety - even if she doesn't get (American) HOY - another win is not worth it. don't know if this is true or not but I read on another post that she is from the same bloodline that has produced soft bones (like the immortal Ruffian). Hope it's not true! I dont' feel she was 100% herself at the Woodward - running on empty? makes it more amazing that she won - won on class, guts and heart.

  • I wonder which relative produces soft bones? Native Dancer? They both have/had his blood.

  • Thanks for the video - great to hear the crowd's excitement. What a horse she is - amazing. People forget that she is just 3 yrs old -what she has accomplished is truly remarkable - winning against filies her own age, winning against the boys her own age, winning against older males, winning on different tracks, in all kinds of weather - wow!

  • Yes she is the tops! I hope she is on vacation till she turns four..watch out!

  • you are so lucky if Rachel goes to the Beldame i am SO there...

  • what a great spot!

  • Yes it was well worth waiting in the rain...she is quite the filly.

  • Loved this race, and will enjoy the Woodward even more as i'll be in attendance. Going to love seeing the SPA!

  • Watching these trackside vids and listening to the crowd is awesome... thanks.

  • Thanks, it gives a great filly the cheers she deserves!
