Roughian is the horse most likely to make me look dumb. So there's that.
Put her in a boxed Superfecta..lol.
If I were to do a boxed Trifecta...
Roughian
A Choice of Evils
Manic
Also, even if Roughian doesn't hit the board in this race, I'll still forever be proud of her, she's accomplished so much already...everything from here on out will just be icing on the cake.
I'm super exited for this running of the Arc we got the great Artilleryman who I adore as a horse. As well as some great fillies who might have a shot at winning the race like Hold Back the Dark My Girl Lily and especially Courting I gotta love her in this race. It overall is shaping up to be something great with atleast 8 horses with a really good shot to win.
I just read it, she did a wonderful job in breaking down the field.
There was one typo however that had me do a double take....
With Drama isn't a full sibling to Roughian lol. [Night's Quiet x Fortitude, by Andre]
His pedigree is: Itoko x With Care, by Sidney
My filly’s King George was just a fluke in the end then. She’ll race one more time I think and off to the breeding shed she goes.
Congrats Glenn, With Drama has clearly improved leaps and bounds in the second half of the season!
On a side note, I knew Courting wouldn’t be a factor when right before the race Em didn’t mention her as a contender, that’s when you know they don’t stand a chance

To be fair, sometimes I purposely leave out names to make it more of an upset... and also sometimes I just forget. Mostly that last bit, ha.

I thought today's race was wonderful. I didn't have With Drama on my radar (Congrats Glenn!)...I was looking more at Manic and A Choice of Evils and I honestly thought Roughian would do well in the race...thought she had a legit chance of winning and if not that would at least finish in the top 3. So her 2nd place finish pleased me a lot, more than I can express here.
She's also gone over the $5 Million mark in earnings....I'm just very very proud of her.
There will be an investigation as to why Artilleryman was not himself today, jockey, Jack Donovan stated after the race that the horse was one paced throughout and lacked his usual fire. A full vet scan has been ordered as it is believed the horse was drugged leading up to the race. Management state that the 5yo son of Nightmarch will not be participating in this years Steward's Cup, but pending clearance by the vet, will in fact be going for the race his owner really wants to win in the Sim... The Melbourne Trophy. Failing a vet clearance, he will return next season, starting with the Pegasus.
