Here's The Kicker - Debut Results

Here's The Kicker (Kix) ran an admirable debut today, taking 4th, but showing more than any of our first time starters this year. She went right to the front, then lost a bit of position and seemed a little dismayed by the kickback, then powered up in the stretch to close with what promises to be a strong kick once it's developed. She finished only 1-1/4 lengths behind the 2nd place horse. 

She'll gain a lot of fitness from this start, as well as experience. Looking forward to her future.
