Lovely story.
Blind in one eye, bought for $4500 by his smalltime owner/trainer with the last of his money...named after his late departed wife who died of cancer.
won 3/3 at finger lakes by huge margins...massive offers turned down because money doesnt mean anything to anymore. just the memory of his wife. went to saratoga to take on the big boys and made it 4/4.
Switches to turf on Sept 2nd for the Riskaverse at Saratoga. Been working down the house on turf on the gallops.
Maybe we might see her over here at Ascot next year if things work out.

She came about 6th.
Never in it. Didn't look like she took to turf much. Oh well, better luck next time LBT. |

Yep...dont think stretching out the mile helped her either.
