Jammed again finishing 4th at Bel over 1600m

This was the day that really disappointed us this campaign. We'd left Amber in the capable hands of Kevin Lever after her last start, so minimize the traveling back and forward from Geraldton. We drew gate 1, and with her good speed we were confident of a super showing. We had a real mix up with the jockeys though. Roy had returned from break and although Pike wanted the ride, we opted for Roy. Unfortunately he could not make the 53kg and by the time we found out, Pike had chosen the eventual winner in Swishy. Jason Whiting who does a good deal of work for Kevin got the ride and we were happy with the choice. After a top start, Amber took a position on the rail (this is proving to be a habbit of her racing style) and was in the perfect position coming to the corner. Sweet Boots, the leader, had hung off the fence coming around the corner at last start and our plan was to hug the rail and take the gap. Well, it didn't work out that way and Sweet Boots stayed her line. Jason had a gap at the top of the straight, but it was quickly closed by Pike on Swishy who then locked Amber in. She never got a crack, and finished close up in 4th behind the leader. A race to forget.
