| March 15, 2010 - Hastings | | Class: 5 | Distance: 1M 4F | Surface: Dirt | Weather: Clear | | Purse: $8,384 | Field: 9 horses | Type: 0-70 Handicap race 3yo & up | | Entry (Jockey) | Kabarda (Clifton) | Odds: 12-1 | | | | | | | Asked Clifton to hold a steady pace and challenge late and it seemed to work over the first 8+ furlongs, with the field separated into three packs of 3 and Kabarda holding steady in the second group. Clifton challenged with 5 furlongs left and though Kabarda reached 3rd place it was way too early. The pack bunched up quite a bit at the end and Kabarda got stuck and faded. Clifton managed the race poorly in my opinion, but he is an apprentice. Clifton indicated he ran in the pack which seemed to suit, the distance was too long and the horse was not competitive in the class. | | | | | | | |
