Thorpedo Anna. NIce big crowd to send her off at 1/5 and she nailed it. Bigger this year, wonder what is next. She still has that skimpy tail.

I would have gotten the exacta again. Free Like A Girl, such a GAME mare.
Congratulations, Thorpedo Anna.

They are saying TA will get a short break, a breeze then ship the CD to start in the La Troienne on the KD undercard in front of the crowd she deserves. Fingers crossed we get to see her there. Brian Hernandez will be riding a real contender in the Derby as well.

Awesome. I missed the race, just saw the replay. Such a privilege to watch a horse of her caliber.

They had a nice piece on TA’s connections including her baby picture and a visit with her mother, who is…not vertically gifted, she can barely get her head over the fence. Might be seeing it again but FOX has it and NBC has the Derby telecast…maybe it is around, worth watching.
BTW she was a Fasig Tipton Oct yearling sale purchase. 40K. Kenny has quite an eye for a prospect it would seem.

Is this it? Around 5:37:00. Caveat here, there is some real personal tragedy talked about for the breeder/co-owner.
Her 17 year old son dove into a stock pond on the farm and broke his neck. His ashes are scattered there and they planted a fir tree by the pond. At Christmas they light the tree with a big star on top. Looks really nice against the rolling pasture…and sad.
Like when they personalize the owners and other connections. Makes you care about all of them.
