Okay, guys, let’s talk about Neecie Marie. I’ve been following this horse for a while, and she’s really something else. So, I started out by watching her races, you know, just getting a feel for her style.
I remember this one race, I think it was at Kentucky Downs, she was running in the Ladies Marathon Stakes. It was a long race, 1 5/16 miles. She started off slow, she was dead last. I was thinking, “Oh man, she’s not gonna make it.” But then, as they hit the stretch, she started moving. She went wide, like, really wide, and just started picking them off one by one.
- Watched her previous races to understand her running style.
- Observed her performance in the Ladies Marathon Stakes.
- Noticed her slow start and trailing position.
- Witnessed her wide move in the stretch.
- Saw her overtaking other horses and closing in on the leaders.
Honestly, I was on the edge of my seat. She was closing so fast, it was insane! She caught up to Vergara, who was in second place at that time. And let me tell you, Vergara is no slouch. But Neecie Marie, she just had that extra gear. She powered past her in the final strides.
The Big Win
And guess what? She won! Can you believe it? Neecie Marie won the Ladies Marathon! I was so excited, I jumped out of my chair. It was a $1-million race, so you can imagine the thrill. I mean, she closed from the back of the pack, fanned wide, and still managed to win. That takes some serious guts and stamina.
After that race, I was totally hooked. I started digging deeper. Found out she’s owned by this guy, Michael Milam. And her jockey, Joel Rosario, he rode her perfectly. I mean, you gotta give credit where it’s due. It’s a team effort, you know? It was amazing to witness her victory, especially considering the high stakes and her initial position. This win really solidified my admiration for Neecie Marie. Her determination and ability to come from behind are truly impressive.
So yeah, that’s my Neecie Marie story. She’s a real underdog, and who doesn’t love a good underdog story? She proved that it’s not about where you start, it’s about where you finish. And she finished strong. Keep an eye on this one, folks. She’s going places.
