Small laceration after kicking herself this morning. Should be fine, but bad timing.BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 3:50 pm War Like Goddess has scratched out of the Bewitch. Does anyone know why?

Glad to see her return to winning do well. Got a dream trip up the rail and a great ride, but was much the best.BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:47 pm Hoosier Philly wins the 1-mile Dig A Diamond Stakes at Oaklawn, with Absinthe 2nd.

The 1-mile G3 Royal Heroine at Santa Anita was won by an up-the-rail Uncorked (Pierro), ridden by Frankie Dettori. I really appreciate the way Frankie rides...he got Uncorked to kick to an open length win without whipping the **** out of her. He has a strong hand ride coming to a wire, and manages to get so much out of his runners without coming close to breaking the whip rules.

I think that's the effect that multiple whip bans can have on a guy. But hey, it looks like they work.BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 8:20 pm The 1-mile G3 Royal Heroine at Santa Anita was won by an up-the-rail Uncorked (Pierro), ridden by Frankie Dettori.

He got a 16 day whip ban after Champion's Day last year at Ascot, forcing him to miss the Melbourne Cup. He also got an 8 day whip ban after Royal Ascot last year, forcing him to miss the July Cup. He also famously hit Rewilding 24 times in the final two furlongs on their way to winning the 2012 Prince of Wales' Stakes, there was another whip ban that came from that.
(he is still one of my favourite jockeys, but he's not perfect)
