Mass Romantic ran a solid race first off the bench, chasing the early pace before finishing up an even fifth. It was a pretty tough bunch of fillies and the distance probably not her best (she wants longer), so no disgrace in the effort. It seems that her knee took the event without issue, which is great. We'll monitor it in the coming days to make sure that it's to the good, but the jock said that she switched leads fine and traveled smoothly throughout. A bit more distance and slightly softer competition next out and I expect her to be in the hunt.
Veiled Reference worked 5/8ths of a mile over the weekend with Tim up. He reported that she did it well and came out of the work in good shape. We're looking to enter her later this week in a spot down at Laurel. The initial plan had been a six furlong sprint, but now we're targeting a one-mile spot first out. Given her form in the mornings she looks to be one that will do her best at longer distances, so even though she might not be totally fit for the mile, it's better to start her out there rather than chase after fillies that are probably too quick at the shorter distance. We'll know more on a potential start date toward the end of the week.
Have you caught this Mastercard commercial? It's one of those "Priceless" numbers and I crack up every time it comes on. You know how it is when they strike so close to home.
