Get Set is in race 6 at 3:55.

Enthusiastic Gal is in race 9 at 5:45.

Now that I know their story, I’ll be watching. :slight_smile:

That’s a hoot. :lol:

I honestly never thought about the potential benefits of breeding a mid-level mare while laid up, then returning her to race…

I never would have considered it before reading this. I would have just retired her.

Unfortunately her 2yo was scratched. I hope she’ll be racing later.

Enthusiastic Gal finished 4th in her AOC.

I think I’m the only person following this. :lol:

Now we’re all following this. :lol:

Based on the chart, it looks like she was barely a length off the winner.

I hope kiddo has a long and successful career ahead of him.

The mare ran a very good race against a strong field. That was a good 4th.

What a cool story! And, an interesting approach with the mare as well. Thanks for posting this!

Good story, but not sure I agree with his science,

“That’s common knowledge way back to Ronald Reagan,” said Imbesi, laughing. “I have some doctor friends, and we talk, and it was pretty clear to me that a pregnant mare, as well as a pregnant woman, will manufacture stem cells with the fetus. The stem cells caused by the fetus will cure any ills the dam might have."
