Thanks for the video. Eblouissante looks very light on her feet; does that run the family? And she appears to have a very graceful gait. Her gallop looked effortless; could she have inherted her mother's big heart? I loved how she ran past her training partner, Silent Poetry. Best of luck with this lovely and talented filly.
Thank you for giving us another small glimpse into the training routine. It gives us an opportunity to learn more about the horses as we follow them up to the races. I have so much admiration for your patience with handling them all - thank you!
Thanks, John. It's great to see Z's little sister. I also like those other names--Silent Poetry (that could have been a description of Zenyatta) and Bronze Beauty. Good luck with all of them. They are in the best of hands.
@donkeyhoteeee: I love Zazu, too! Isn't she a beauty? She is owned by the Mosses, but is trained by the "other" JS, John Sadler (one of the pre-requisites for training a Moss horse, is that one must bear these initials.*)
Excellent! Thank you so very much for allowing fans an inside view of thoroughbred training. You and Dottie are truly great ambassadors for the racing world. Am so looking forward to seeing how Eblouissante does on the track. I believe she's in the best possible care she could be. She is truly beautiful and I hope that she becomes a wonderful champion like her big sister Zenyatta. Thanks again to you and Dottie!!!!!
Thank you so much for posting these workouts! Fantastic to see the horses in their casual daily routines. I would love to see a Zasu workout, fell in love with her the first time I saw her! Bless you for all the goodness you and your team put into the world~
John: Thanks so much for posting this! And your French accent on Eblouissante is terrific! Keep that up & you'll be all set for a trip to Quebec!!!!! Abigail Anderson, Montreal, Canada
I love that this video was filmed on June 12th. Thank you, John Shirreffs, for truly providing the icing on the (birthday) cake! My candle wish would be good health and successful racing careers to all of these (many!) equine beauties. The most important wish has already been granted: a loving home with meticulous care, under the watchful and patient eye of a wonderful trainer and his dedicated staff. Thank you for these gifts from the heart! . "Silent Poetry" has stolen mine......

I was wondering if Eblouissante has shown her half-sister's affinity for Guiness---or is she not yet of legal drinking age ?
