    5yo Hellabalou, by far the youngest in the race, wins the Borgata
    For the third year in a row, Leonidas performed well - finishing strongly for 2nd
    Lochinvar Art never really got in the race

    She didn't need to go any faster. Prior to the Matchmaker final the HRA website shows her prizemoney total at $1,658,278. 50% of the US$328,000 stake for winning on today's exchange rate (US$1 = AUS$1.5) earns her AUUS$246,000, which takes her past $1.9 million. An amazing little mare who, as costly as she was when purchased, has turned into somewhat of a bargain for her owners. She should be a ripping broodmare to boot.

    Just in from the USA. Amazing Dream was sold prior to the Matchmaker final and will race on to the breeding season in the ownership of Shartin's owners.

    A nice pare of broodmares to have in your paddock. Great to see a couple of Australasia's best females I proving the broodmare ranks in North America instead of being raced into the ground.

    In Australia/Vic they are contemplating 1200m racing - mile racing is boring enough

    Hall of Fame trotter CR Kay Suzie, 31, dies

    https://ustrottingnews.com/hall-of-f...suzie-31-dies/

    Be sure to click on the link at the end of the above article - it leads to a great read

    Kaylie Allen, age 10, got right to the point. “What happened to my horse, Grandpa?” she asked Carl Allen. The young horsewoman had been out on the family’s Ocala, Florida farm, looking for her namesake, Country Kaylie.
    “We sold her. She wasn’t fast enough,” said Allen. “Would you sell me, too, if I wasn’t fast enough?” asked the first Allen girl in two generations.
    “That did it,” said Rod Allen. “My dad said, ‘We’re going to the sale. We’re going to buy a filly. We’re going to name her something Kaylie. And I don’t care what happens; we’re never selling her.”


    “Dr. [Rick] Balmer said, ‘She’s done for the year.’ She stood in the stall about four days, lame on the heel. Dad walked past that stall and past that stall and finally said, ‘Get her out here.’”
    “Dad made her a window bar shoe,” said Rod Allen. “It took the pressure off the spot she hurt. We put that on, she walked sound. We no more got it nailed on than he said, ‘Put the harness on her.’ We go jogging her and she’s sound.”
    The Merrie Annabelle is first major race of the year for young trotting fillies, with a purse of $385,500. “Her first real race was an elimination for the Merrie Annabelle. She won it by a nose.”
    In the final, the favorite was driven by John Campbell, the sport’s leading driver. “John pulled even and thought he was going to go by,” says Allen. “Suzie just pulled away.” The time of 1:55.1 was a world record.
