Back on June 23, I recommended Paralyzing Eyes as a horse to keep an eye on. For those too lazy to scroll down that far, my recommendation was based on the fact that Paralyzing Eyes, after blowing the start, had run the final four furlongs of her debut at a speed closely approximating that of the race winner.
Friday, Paralyzing Eyes ran in her second career race. The class conditions were the same as the debut (state bred MSW) as was the surface (grass). Friday's race was a mile in length, which represented a stretch out for Paralyzing Eyes from her six furlong debut.
Paralyzing Eyes went to post at Final Odds of 71.3-1. She broke well from the gate and raced mid-pack for a half, before running out of gas and finishing ninth, seventeen and a half lengths behind the winner, Zanbo.
So while Paralyzing Eyes did not take the big step forward that I was hoping (perhaps unreasonably) that she would, her race Friday was an improvement over her initial try. I think I'll keep an eye out for her in her next race; not for investment purposes, but just to see if she continues to progress.
The Equibase chart of the race may be viewed here, while the DRF version is available here.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
