2012-05-13 Clairwood - race 8 [02:39]
Shogunnar chalks up an encouraging effort in the Highland Night Cup over 2500m at Clairwood Park to give clear indication that he's a future feature race contender. Unfortunately things didn't go his way racing from the back of a strung out field and with 500m to go he was still hopelessly out of touch with the leaders. To compound the disadvantage, he hung right across the wide Clairwood track before unleashing his finish on the outside rail from the back of the field. From thereon in - low-flying to pass 10 horses in a matter of strides and get up for 4th position. No doubt this performance would've clocked the fastest 400m to finish time of the race and with a more focused effort next time out he should be a serious contender for Derby honours. Congratulations to owners AN Noel, N. Jairajh & Mr & Mrs KJ Chetty, an exciting future awaits with Shogunnar.

It's Tricky - 2012 Distaff (G2) [01:46]
Godolphin Racing's It's Tricky ran her Aqueduct Racetrack record to a perfect 5-for-5 Saturday afternoon as she took the Grade 2, $200000 Distaff Handicap by 3 ½ lengths. Breaking sharply, It's Tricky was taken back slightly on the outside as Don'tbeshy I'll Buy led through an opening quarter-mile in 22.51, pressed closely by Nicole H, who took over to run a half in 45.13. Steadily encouraged by jockey Eddie Castro to remain in contention as the field turned for home, It's Tricky was put to a drive while racing three wide into the stretch and grabbed the lead with an eighth of a mile to go, drawing well clear in the final stages. It's Ticky's final time for seven furlongs was 1:22.39. Sent off as the 3-5 favorite and 123-pound highweight in the field of five, she returned $3.40 for a $2 win wager.
