Cotillion Winner It Tiz Well Diagnosed With Ankle Chip, Future Plans Uncertain
Winner of the Grade 1 Cotillion Stakes at Parx on Sept. 23, the now 4-year-old filly It Tiz Well has not had a start since that effort. The daughter of Arch was aiming for a start in the Breeders' Cup Distaff, but a foot issue kept her out of the World Championships.

Mopotism gets a break from Unique Bella and Paradise Woods, but what about Mended (!), a $12,500 claim! Has her win streak broken, but only by a head bob to Mopotism. What a game filly she is in the La Canada (G2).
That was the best race I saw today, and I LOVE the backstory on Mended. I hope she gets to start another streak in her next race...and never has to venture down to the claiming level again.
Plein Air's front-running victory in the $75,000 Astra Stakes at Santa Anita Park Jan. 14 marked a couple of firsts for the 5-year-old mare and her connections. It was the first start in the U.S. for the Irish-bred daughter of Manduro (GER), and it was the first win for her new owners.
