Lucky Filly

Blind Luck was the winner of Saturday's Delaware Handicap. As mentioned in the previous post, I was rooting for Havre de Grace. Also mentioned, every race Blink Luck and Havre de Grace race in together, they all end the same: a dead heat down the wire to the finish line. The only difference is the winner. One or the other.

   Those two fillies have planted their fame everywhere. For that reason, there were only five runners in the Del Cap. One of them was Life At Ten: she's a good 6YO mare, with a lot of experience. Her pedigree is good, with Malibu Moon, A.P Indy, and Saratoga Ten in there. She's been a Breeders' Cup runner, so there's no questioning her talent. However, she wasn't good enough to add any sort of competition for Blind Luck and Havre de Grace.
   The other two runners were Love's Blush and Thundering Emilia. They were just that, though: runners.


Here's the finish:


1) Blind Luck 
2) Havre de Grace
3) Life At Ten
4) Love's Blush
5) Thundering Emilia

I didn't watch the race, but I saw the photo finish picture. It was amazing! Blind Luck won over Havre de Grace by less than a nose. So, so close. Not as close as the 1994 Belmont Stakes, though. But still. Close.

Kaitlyn won this time, but next? Watch out Blind Luck. Here comes Havre de Grace for a comeback. ;)
