Movement ran a good race, finishing second yesterday. She broke well, set the pace and was over taken by the favorite in the final furlong. Jockey Jorge Bordieu said that once she was in front she began looking around and wasn't keeping her mind on racing. He also said that she would beat this company next out. That's probably the route we'll take. She might be able to be competitive with $20,000 maiden claimers or it could be too deep, but after that we'd have to drop her back down anyway when she takes on winners. If she comes out well and has no setbacks, she could run again as soon as September 10th.
Race day was one of the most fun, exciting, heart pounding experiences I've ever enjoyed. I've owned shares of horses before, but this was completely different. I cannot overstate how much fun I had. Thanks so much to everyone that wished me luck, and called or commented. It really means a lot and made the experience that much better.

Woohoo. That's great!
Wish I could have been there. I saw Allison last night and she was over the moon!
I was thrilled for you! I was sure to watch and wager ... definitely a bet made strictly with my heart. Congratulations!
