WOW! Check out this girl by REWARD FOR EFFORT. She looks as though she could go to the races tomorrow. She’s muscled up a treat and is full of power in her stride. She’s a purposeful mover and just a lovely package. Below is a video of her in pre-training just before she headed to Peter and Katherine’s stables in October.
She is going really well, coping with everything. Any time they raise the bar, she steps up. Whether she gets to the races this time in, remains to be seen, but she will tell us.

To date, she has being working on the track although her work will be stepped up this week.
