"Wow! What A Filly!" - Mossflower - 1998 Hempstead Handicap [04:01]
Her name is Mossflower, she is a 4-year-old daughter of the Triple Crown champion Affirmed, and she streaked across the horizon at Belmont Park yesterday like a shooting star. Mossflower stayed undefeated by winning her sixth straight race in the sort of performance that grows with time. She outran five of the finest fillies in the land by 12 lengths and more, closed with a furious rush to break the record for the Hempstead Handicap and came within two-fifths of a second of matching the track record for a mile and one-sixteenth. And she did it all in the first stakes race she ever ran. The true measure of her success might be judged by the caliber of the fillies she outran, in this order: Glitter Woman, who has finished in the money in 15 of her 16 starts; Colonial Minstrel, who had a five-race winning streak; Ajina, last year's 3-year-old champion filly; Dixie Flag, a speed horse who had won three of her last four, and Royal Indy, winner of the Gazelle last summer at Belmont. After half a mile, Mossflower was running dead last in this all-star field, and she was still fourth after three-quarters of a mile.

2012 Dixieland Nationals Day 1 (13 Intermediates) [1st Motos] [01:36]
For Saturday's 13 Intermediate, we had 16 riders in my class which means we had a semi. This was my first race as a Intermediate but I raced 6 Intermediate races before and only won 1 of them at Peachtree City. I was really nervous and did not know what to expect, and when I crossed the line 1st, I just fistpumped and yelled "YEAHHHH!!!!" Thank you everybody who watched, and supported me this moto and the semi, sorry the semi is not posted, ran out of memory and had to delete it so we could film the main.
