VI Horse Racing (BVI) 8/7/2012 [28:32]
The rivalry continues. First, Tortola takes the Governor's Cup for 2 straight years. St. Thomas took the Premier's Cup last year. What's going to happen this year? Tortola pits 2-time Governor's Cup Champion "Good Prospecting", it's lone representative to take back the Premier's Cup from the defending champ, St. Thomas' "Diablo's Fire", underdog Twisted Dream and the ever dangerous Bud White. The undercard has Sprint Champ "Really Uptown" taking on two returning to the track from layoffs in the BVI Sprint Classic, and "All Country" looks to keep his streak alive. But St. Thomas' "Tiger Glider" and the rough and ready "Kuhn Dan" will have something to say about that. Sit back and see what happens!

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. Then they turned into the homestretch, and Robbie Davis called for closing speed.
