It was a clean start for everyone but it soon became clear that it was going to be a battle! Neck in neck coming to the wire! In an incredible finish, Empire's Little Lady pulls ahead by a nose to win!!!
1) Empire's Little Lady
2) Blessed Beauty

Race 2
Little Miss Wonderful and Chilli Pepper loaded well. Chilli Pepper broke a bit awkwardly but recovered footing very well and was trailing by 2 lengths early on. Coming around the far turn, Chilli Pepper surged on and passed LMW, but LMW wasn't done yet! She forged ahead and retook the lead, finishing first by two lengths.
1) Little Miss Wonderful
2) Chilli Pepper

Race 3
Ch. Sweet Magic and Andrew loaded with little effort and both broke cleanly. Andrew took the early lead with Sweet Magic just about a length behind, biding time and waiting to make a move. Down the stretch they come! Sweet Magic is turning it on now, catching up, nose to nose it's going to be close!! In a dramatic photo finish, Andrew wins!

*Carol was racing very well, but in the final leg of the race something just didn't feel right. She doesn't hold back ever and I felt that something was really bothering her so I slowed her down and left the racetrack to see what was up. Her left fore was slightly swollen and sore and I immediately took her to the vet. I am awaiting word on how she is doing.
