Shmexy So Cal Fillys

From recent Del Mar races...

Silver Swallow:
I have an unhealthy obsession with this filly... too bad she is stuck on her 2nd places... I was hoping she could pick things up and make it to the BC.

Nashoba's Key:
One beautifully elegant and fast filly...

Nashoba's Key - one of the coolest horses to ever live, I suspect. I am honored to have gotten to poke her and see some of her races. And write about her.

LOVE the one coming out of the tunnel, Ian.

God I need to get my butt to Del Mar.

I LOVE Nashoba's Key. I wish to here and back again that I could see her race live, but suspect that that's sort of a pipe dream.

Surprised the ladies on this thread haven't picked up on the excellent colour co-ordination on the grey filly - with the bandages and the bridle/reins all bieng a lovely pale yellow

but her cavesson/noseband is leather! Gasp! Perhaps if she was the 4 horse the color matching karma would have done her well.

Wow...I've never seen a horse that was such a beautiful shade of grey...

She's like...a dove.

Swooooooon.

This is what happens when you don't have anything to do at work... or don't want to be doing anything at work: <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashoba%27s_Key' target='_blank'>Nashoba's Key on Wikipedia</a>

I do suggest if you are bored, and know a lot about a stakes winning horse that doesn't have an article... you take a try at making one... I just looked at other race horses pages (under the edit page function) to see the code they used. And you have to upload your photos to the Wiki database... as in your photos you actually took, not stole off the net.

Silver Swallow is next on my list... but umm... I need help... any of you hardcore fans with access to the pay databases want to help me with what you can find on her and message me... she isn't good enough to be in NTRA's database... I only know about her last few races.
