GOLDEN FRIENDSHIP

Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed poorly, with a slow start and settling towards the rear. Maintaining a steady pace throughout, it lacked any significant acceleration and finished far behind. This time, carrying a three-pound weight reduction, the horse has four losses in four attempts at this distance. The timing compared to other horses in the field isn't ideal, making its prospects less favorable despite showing an ability to track the leaders. While capable of following the pace setters and drawing a good barrier, its final work wasn’t particularly impressive.
