Fortuna was back on the scene today at Delaware Park. Perhaps it was the storm moving in, or, more likely, her flighty nature (not like a fast flighty, unfortunately), but she put in a pretty disappointing effort. The race came up soft, money was down on her from across the country and she ran like a filly that needs to have everything her way to have any kind of impact. Well, things did not play out that way today, so she was rank through 3/4s racing just off the lead before packing it in and dropping back through the field. Thanks for coming. We'll see how she comes back and look to spot her where things might play more in her favor. We're like the Bush advance team now, seeking out that obscure little college where she'll be perfect for the commencement address. Alabama here we come.
For better or worse, Nautical Agent did wind up drawing into that race on Saturday at Colonial Downs. It came up tough for the level, but we'll send her out and see if she perks up after having been at the track for a few days. She shipped in well enough.
