I am going to be out of town for the holidays, so there will be no Maiden Watch updates for the next week. So, I thought I would leave you with some questions to ponder and comment about.

Congo Kaye (Congaree) and Broadway Hennessey faced off again in Wine Country. Also, results for Ameribelle (Medaglia d'Oro), Danceyoursocksoff (Pleasantly Perfect), Pearl of Valor (Medaglia d'Oro), and Da Bear Facts (Congaree); and entries for Pick's Express (Speightstown) and Stone Legacy (Birdstone).

When you win a stakes race in impressive fashion in your first start, what do you do for an encore? I guess we will find out as Congo Kaye (Congaree) returns on July 27 in the Wine Country Juvenile Filly Stakes. Plus, entries for Ameribelle (Medaglia d'Oro), Danceyoursocksoff (Pleasantly Perfect), Pearl of Valor (Medaglia d'Oro), and Da Bear Facts (Congaree).

Congo Kaye came out of the gate like a debut runner, slowly. The rest of the field was many lengths in front (it's hard to say how many, since she wasn't on the television screen). I thought, well this one's over.

Conga Kaye debuts in the Juan Gonzalez Memorial Stakes. Plus, previews for Dueling Alex, Bear's Conductor, L. A. Rules, Danceyoursocksoff, and Ameribelle.

Trifecta King coming off a 2nd place finish in her only start on May 15, will try stakes company in the Cinderella Stakes at 5.5 furlongs at Hollywood on May 25.
