KYSS champion now with Team
Takter rallied to win his 3YO debut in a Dancer division in career best of 1:51.4,
post eight in the second elimination, “On paper, it looks like we are in
the easier of the two eliminations,” said Takter. “I think the eight is a good spot. I would have preferred one or two more
starts, but all of our horses have a good foundation.”

Won a Reynolds division @ Big
M on July 11 in 1:52 with a thunderous :26.4 rally,
romped in a Dancer division in a career best equaling 1:52, post one in the
first elimination, “His best effort was on the front end in his first start,” said
Zeron. To have come home in :26.1 and
get picked off at the last second, that was a great effort. I avoided the front end going forward
because I wanted to teach him to do other things. Post one gives me options.”
