I can help you a little bit with your Comic Relief research because I trained her to her one and only victory. She was bought by a partnership of Mr and Mrs. JV Shields. Mr and Mrs. Leverett Miller and Mrs Stella Thayer and sent to NY with a top turf trainer there. He couldnt get her to the races due to some minor issues and sent her home for a rest. After she returned to the farm I got her in at Gulfstream park and she got ready pretty quick. We entered her in grass race at Tampa because we couldnt get in at GP and Mrs Thayer owns Tampa so it was a logical spot. The race was washed off but we ran because she was ready to go and Tampa has a pretty safe dirt surface. After she won pretty impressively we were thinking that she may have the potential to be a listed stakes filly if she continued to develop. Unfortunately she fractured a bone in her foot which takes a long time if ever to heal and she was retired. She was very flat footed like Kingmambos tend to be and her conformation was not perfect. She has not been much of a BM thus far but may be better if bred to a turf sire and the babies were strictly kept on the turf. I think she won on the dirt because she was a good horse and simply was able to handle it enough to beat the fairly soft field she met in Tampa.<BR/><BR/>Chuck SimonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06769380819412561973noreply@blogger.com
