4 out for a second, 2 fourths, and a fifth with 41,400...I'm ok with this though it would have been nice for Swain's Gold to get his black. Goldy had a nice, clean trip over 8.5 f of yielding Caulfield turf to finish 4th of 7 and came back sound and prancing. He'll start again on the next card in a G2 here in America.

We are vry happy with Cajun Sunrise's first start; 5th of 15 over 2 miles at Shenandoah. She broke well, set up properly, then coasted for most of the race - jockey got caught napping at the top of the stretch, but Sunny showed a powerful closing kick. Taking into account she ran at least 4-wide on all the corners means we are VERY happy, indeed!

Light Touch is being mareish this season; can't seem to decide what distance she wants. 2nd is great for her, especially considereing the winner is a MGSW and most of the rest of field is at least Group placed.

Perfect Charmer picked up yet another 4th place finish...at least it buys the feed. He also pulled his best PSR to date, so I guess I shouldn't complain. He might need a new jockey, though, as he was pushed to a speed duel over the first 7f then got lapped in the stretch. He came back tired, so he'll get a rest.

Bluegrass Thorn was entered with Scratch if No and did just that off of Sam Houston's slow-rated dirt. He'll make another attempt at Fair Grounds in Week 6.

Next week sees races for fillies Perfect Summer, Unforgiv'n, and Amaterasu along with Thorn. Biggest hopes ride with Summer and Sassy at G-level; Amy's is mostly a test run to see where she's at.
