It was beginning to look like it would be a winless day, but I knew Renda (Medaglia d'Oro) would come through. Also, Smart Coco (Smarty Jones) tries group III company at the Curragh.

Da Bear Facts (Congaree), Peace Town (Peace Rules), and Renda (Medaglia d'Oro) represent Maiden Watch in stakes action. Plus, a claiming try for Long Live Dixie (Peace Rules) and nine maiden races.

Four Maiden Watch horses try stakes company this Saturday, Mine That Bird (Birdstone) and Oconee (Congaree) in the Silver Deputy at Woodbine, Renda (Medaglia d'Oro) in the Junior Champion Stakes at Monmouth, and Long Live Dixie (Peace Rules) in the Miss Shenandoah Stakes at Charles Town.
