Rainbow Song was getting used to run in this class and chosen to be the 2nd favorite. She jumped off well and sat in the 3rd position.
She was traveling well and looking good coming into the straight. But she could not manage to pass the horse in front and another horse finished well from behind. She finished 3rd. She tried hard this time but could not finish strong like 2 horses in front.
We feel we need to do something different to make her the winner in this class.
