Thinking About Contemplation!

The gorgeous Street Boss gelding Contemplation (pictured above) put up a superb show at Colonial Downs last Friday under a fine Francisco Arrieta ride.

Owned by DARRS Inc (and bred by Godolphin), Contemplation sat with the pace early on before surging nicely clear down the stretch, then almost caught close to the wire by the second and third home. But not quite!

This was Contemplation's third career win, and he looks more than capable of adding to this tally. Interestingly, Mike came out of the race with an extra member of the barn, after owner David Ross claimed the 6th home in the race, Hold Up.
