We got a clean bill of health on Simply Enchanting (Nyquist) after her disastrous finish at Churchill yesterday. No issues with lameness, breathing, other physical ailments or bloodwork, she simply failed to perform.
Her trainer and others believe that the high heat and humidity (heat index over 100) may have played a part in her lackluster performance. To this point, she had won her debut, is stakes placed, and had never finished off the board. They will consider if she should return to CA for the Del Mar meet.
"Ella" has been a very special member of our partnership stable and our top performing filly to date, and we are still a little stunned by how poorly she ran.
