He added that he feels the mare may have appreciated racing wide without horses around her and was surprised after having such a wide run the mare was still able to finish the race off as she did.. He further added that he has had some hoof issues with the mare in recent times and has changed her training routine to include swimming and the softer track of todayys race may have been to her advantage..
