Something seems off here but I can't quite put my finger on what it could be 🤔

Percy's Bar (Upstart), with @luanmachado85 up, had an easy-by-design easy final tune in :49 3/5 for next week's Kentucky Oaks, starting lengths behind stablemate Tregetour's easy pace and catching him at the wire, well within herself and as usual looking barely winded afterwards.

So, I’m looking around for my pup…

@parry_louise Thanks Louise!
