Saving Sanity Saves Herself

  
SAVING SANITY SAVES HERSELF!

    After consistent failure after failure to break her maiden, the now three year old palomino filly of Blue Cross Estates flew her way to victory over Grayson Meadows' Tell Me A Fable and Witch Creek Stables' Escape Artist in the April Week 1 Avril Maiden.

"We were starting to doubt her," Head trainer Alexander Descartes admitted after collecting the filly in the winner's circle. "You can only try a horse so many times before it becomes evident they just don't have it. Luckily for us, Sanity decided she would finally show her stuff,"

Up until the Avril Maiden, Saving Sanity had already tried seven times to secure her first win, a feat that would have most stables hanging up her silks, and retiring her prematurely to the life of a brood mare. " We've always known her potential," Jockey Stanley Newton commented in the aftermath of the race, "Yes, retirement did come up, and often. A lot of faith was put into this filly, and in turn a lot of faith was lost. But we knew she had it in her and we let her run her heart out. All that lost hope and faith she restored today."

When asked on her future plans, a laugh was shared all around. "Well," Alexander Descartes started, a grin on his face, "We're all hoping she'll take a liking to winning. If she keeps up her current work, then maybe we'll start targeting her towards something special. For now, we're just hoping to maintain and let her readjust to the track."
