Magical Ways Didn't Hit the Board on Debut

Magical Ways performance today is not what we'd hoped it would be, but it appears he came through the race without incident. 

He was running well early, but the track was wet and it seemed, at least to us, that when he lost the lead he didn't like getting hit by mud and shut down in the later part of the race to run 5th of 6 horses. 

First races are always hard, but the important thing is the horse's welfare. Hopefully this was both a learning experience and will make him even more fit for his next start. We'll share the after-race analysis with you when we received it.
