A Well Mannered Lady

Description

July 2nd was an altogether forgettable day in a long line of muggy Kentuckiana days. It was also the day Heytharcupcake would break quietly into the limelight. She would go off at a modest 27:1, neither good nor bad compared to the rest of the odds. And she would win by the hairs on her unshaven nose.

The G3 Bashford Manor was hardly a race worth considering, but for the fact that it had made the cut and been listed as first of the Derby Prep races. Not one of the major league names such as the Wood Memorial or Arkansas Derby, but it was enough to get the right gears turning.

Cupcake slipped onto the Derby road without any fuss. She coasted under the shadows of bigger and brighter names, coming full circle back to the track she had started out on. First had come the Manor at a shy two, now it was time to look toward the Derby.
