Finished 8th of 10 at Sam Houston over 302m on 17 Apr, beaten 4.9L in a Futurity Trial, after settling back in the field. Only start to date was at this track. Needs to improve on that effort but is still early in his career. Not without hope with natural progression.

Finished 7th of 10 at Sam Houston over 302m on 17 Apr, beaten 3.4L in a Futurity Trial after settling 3rd early. Draws wider this time from barrier 10. Still early in her career and open to improvement. Not without hope.
