Here’s the Kicker lost a heartbreaker Friday afternoon in Gulfstream Park’s fourth race, finishing second by only a neck.
Our daughter of Liam’s Map sat a perfect trip, stalking right off of her stablemate and the eventual winner, #8 Stormy Mitole. It was a pretty straightforward and uneventful trip this afternoon with limited excuses. It was a heck of an effort from Here’s the Kicker, but she was second best today.
Perhaps with a straighter path in the stretch she would have come out on top, but all in all we were quite pleased with the effort. With the scratch of #5 Lionza this morning, it eliminated a major pace presence allowing Stormy Mitole to get the lead on her own.
We’ll regroup and look for a similar spot next time, potentially even looking for more distance (one mile), but will discuss our options with Saffie Joseph Jr. He remains high on our filly and believes there are plenty of races still to be won by her.
