On April 12, 2023, at Evangeline Downs, Muchmorethanready, a three-year-old dark bay or brown filly, showcased her prowess in race #5, leaving both rivals and spectators in awe.

The Race Unfolds

The race kicked off with a bit of drama as Rememberin Ronald appeared slightly unsettled at the gates. Nevertheless, it was Tarkington Girl and Dat Guitar who broke away strong, soon joined by a surging Ocean Fleet. As they rounded the turn, Muchmorethanready made a strategic move, looping the field and positioning herself fourth as they approached the top of the lane.

With the finish line in sight, Dat Guitar held the lead, but it was Muchmorethanready who, with giant strides, emerged from the center of the track, overtaking her competitors with a remarkable display of speed and power. She crossed the finish line two and a half lengths ahead, with Dat Guitar finishing second, followed by Two Jet and Rememberin Ronald.

Trainer Justin Jeansonne and jockey Irwin Rosendo crafted a winning strategy that paid off beautifully. The decision to sweep wide through the turn proved pivotal, allowing Muchmorethanready to maintain her momentum and avoid the congestion on the inside. This strategic maneuver, often a gamble, highlighted the effectiveness of a well-coordinated horse racing partnership.
