Kickin N Screamin runs well

Kickin n Screamin ran a good 2nd today in the 4th race at Arlington Park. The race which was scratched down to a five horse field, had very little early speed which put Kickin at a distinct disadvantage with her late running style. There were no fireworks in the paddock this time as TC's time spent schooling her paid off. Kickin N Screamin under jockey Jose Velez sat in fourth place on the rail behind a tepid pace set by the eventual winner Stage Glitter who led in fractions of 24.4, 49.2 and 1:14.2 which is especially slow considering a great deal of it is run down the long chute at Arlington. She made a bid along the inside turning for home but Stage Glitter had too much left after the slow pace and we wound up 4 lengths behind the winner while almost 3 lengths clear of the third place finisher. All in all it was a good showing against open claimers after having competed in conditioned races since we claimed her. The new condition book is due any day and hopefully we can find a similar spot for her next time. Chart
