Awesome Feather - 2012 Nasty Storm S. [01:59]
Undefeated champion Awesome Feather ran her record to 10-for-10 Thursday afternoon at Belmont Park as she came off an eight-month layoff to post a dominating 11 ¼-length victory in the $85000 Nasty Storm overnight stakes. Revving up for a planned start in the Grade 1, $2 million Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic at Santa Anita on November 2, the slightly built filly was away from the gate alertly, and then settled in third as Daddy's Honor and All Due Respect ripped through an opening quarter-mile in 22.63 seconds, with the half going in 44.96. Given her cue by jockey Jeffrey Sanchez on the turn, Awesome Feather barreled past the pacesetters and swept into the stretch with a sizeable lead and opened up under a hand ride to hit the wire in a swift 1:33.47 for the mile. "Six weeks out from the Breeders' Cup, I think she needed a race, so I'm not at all upset about winning by that many and having a strong final time," said Chad Brown, who trains the 2010 juvenile filly champion for Frank Stronach. "I think she needed the race and we got the race we needed." The 1-5 favorite, Awesome Feather returned $2.60 for a $2 win bet as she added the Nasty Storm to her 5 ¾-length victory in January's Sunshine Millions Distaff, her only other start of 2012.

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.

Polo Wrapping 101 [03:52]
This is an instructional video of how I wrap polos on my horses. I know there are slightly different ways to do it, I am not in any way saying this is "right". However you wrap, make sure that you are good at it before you work your horse in them. It is not difficult to injure a horse with miswrapped polos. I like polos because they breathe and give an even pressure all around the leg. I do also have sport boots which I use occasionally (especially if I'm in a hurry) and I always finish off polos or boots with bell boots. If your skeptical about polos, wrap your own leg and run around...it really helps stablize! Any questions, just ask!
