Timeless Forest

Our three year old filly, Timeless Forest (Forestry x Biding Time by Seeking the Gold) worked for the first time in six months yesterday at Keeneland. She went a slow four furlongs in 52:4. After all that time off, all she was being asked to do was stretch her legs, and we're just pleased to have her working again.

Here's hoping this leads to a start sometime this month or next at Churchill.

We'll all be hoping that it goes well for her...at least I know I will.

Thanks Green Hills!

It's been a bit of a long haul since her first start Nov. 7th. We can't wait for her to get back on track.

I know the feeling. It's seems like forever and then it's over in a flash...
ah well, it's what we live for, right? :wink:

At least she is working again. Now the most difficult part, when is she ready??? When will she be able to race ??? I,ll hope we read something about her in Mid June. Succes.

Hi LSB,

I'm part breeder of a filly, Stag Dancer, (g.f. 2002) by Running Stag - Fast Lover by Not For Love. I'm also involved with her racing career.

She had no acceleration or gate speed at 2 and was last in both starts, just able to keep up.

This year she's been training forwardly. An ideal race came up on 5/27 and though she was short of the ideal in conditioning, we ran her (MdnSp (S) 1m [T])

She broke a bit awkward, then moved smoothly to the lead (she had NO speed at 2). She held the lead for 6f, then surrendered it grudgingly, losing by 4 lengths and finishing 4th in 1:37.2. She needs blinkers, and looks like she's ready to win in her next two races.

I hope that Twigs is ready to get you into the winners circle too

Regards,

Pete

Hey Pete,

Where is your filly running? I hope she breaks through for you in the next race or two.

Twigs had a minor set-back after that first work, and didn't breeze again until last Monday when she very happily worked 4 furlongs in :48.2. If nothing else goes wrong :lol:

we may yet get that first start before the Churchill meet ends.
