Nicole H - 2011 Distaff (G2) [01:40]
Nicole H picked up her third straight victory and first in a graded stakes with a facile score in the Saturday's Grade 2 Distaff Handicap for fillies and mares at Aqueduct Racetrack. Freshened following a pair of stakes wins over the inner track in the December 4 Garland of Roses Handicap and January 1 Interborough, Nicole H prompted the pace three-wide in third as Wild News carved out an opening quarter mile in 23.90. Claiming the lead without being asked by jockey Channing Hill following a half in 46.81, she drew away under minimal urging to prevail by 2 ½ lengths over Wild News. "She seemed like the best filly in the race and I rode her that way and just tried to keep her happy," said Hill. Nicole H, the 4-5 favorite, returned $3.90 for a $2 win wager to her backers in the crowd 5481 and completed seven furlongs in 1:23.29. "She just dragged him up there at the three-eighths pole," said Mike Hushion, who trains the 4-year-old for GEM Racing. "I felt awfully good at that point. Everyone else was driving, and she was just dragging him up. She was fresher than she usually is in the paddock, but when the gates opened, that first quarter-mile, thankfully, she got to settle the way you would have hoped the first time going seven-eighths against these." Nicole H, who began her career competing for trainer David Hofmans on artificial surfaces and turf in Southern California, is now 4-1-0 in seven starts since being transferred to Hushion and switched to conventional dirt ...

Roger - 2nd and 4th rides [03:41]
Well it's official, Roger is the new love of my life, hahahaha :) This was Saturday and yesterday with the Rodgie pony, I've been a bit slack with the video making so thought I would combine the two rides! Starting to see improvements from him bit by bit, he's starting to come round in dribs and drabs, and even doing a bit of leg yielding today (will have to get that on film for you all) so really pleased with how he's going. Got him in a nice soft bit which is good, he's not heavy in my hands and pulling which is what I was worried he would do, as he had spent a bit of time dragging me around the paddock on the end of the lunge, lol, but he's lunging a lot better now. Actually not sure if he'd been lunged at all, he would have been if he was a race horse? Hmm I'm honestly not sure! Anyway hope you enjoy - while I'm here I wanna say thank you to my 245 subbers! Really appreciate all the support and lovely messages and comments... Keep em coming, it really does make my day when I have video comments! No crit or on my riding please, I'm back in work with my coach to get it all sorted, I know where my faults are and am working on them. Not trying at all to look pretty up there, just getting the boys working nicely is my top priority :) Thanks so much for watching!!! xoxoxoxo
