Last week I told you about my little piece of a filly called Obvious

Well, she ran last week and finished 8th of 13. Not all that promising you might think but a closer look at the race might indicate some hope for the filly.

She raced in third for most of the race tucked in behind the leaders before being asked for an effort in the last couple of furlongs. She picked up quite well, actually hitting the front about a furlong from home before running out of steam.

It would seem that a mile is a touc…
