Last night at Remington Park, "Firebird" (Fireball Birdie) finished fourth in a field of five, beaten a total of 12 lengths. Sadly, our son of Uncle Mo did not put forward his best effort.
He settled in behind the leaders, and saved ground through the first turn, but when jockey Stewart Elliot called on him for more, he flattened out.
The team will consult with top trainer Steve Asmussen in the coming days to get an update on how he exited the race. Hopefully, we can just chalk this up as a bounce after his 2nd place finish last out that earned him a 100 Equibase speed figure. He scored a 57 with this below par effort.
