Flurry Filly Flies at First Asking

4th-Louisiana Downs, $23,000, (S), Msw, 6-20, 2yo, f, 4 1/2f, :51.63, ft, 9 lengths.
LADY FLURRY (f, 2, Lord Nelson–Patchofbadweather {SW}, by Storm and a Half) blew out three furlongs from the gate in a bullet :35 4/5 (1/36) over this strip June 14 and was the 1-2 mortal to kick her career off on a winning note. Showing good speed to race widest in a line of four early, the Flurry homebred poked her red blinkers in front entering the turn and from there, it was lights out. Firmly in front as they reached the quarter pole, Lady Flurry was the recipient of a couple of superfluous cracks of the crop in the final furlong before easing home tons the best. The final time of :51.63 is just 0.03 of a second slower than the posted 4 1/2-furlong track record of :51.60 set by Sondor in the pre-hundredths days in 1984. Hot Springs native Staton Flurry raced this filly's Arkansas-bred dam with Broberg to a victory in the 2014 Lady Razorback S. and Lady Flurry is the mare's second winner from as many to start. She is also the dam of the Louisiana-bred yearling colt Loudthundrhevyrain (Star Guitar) and an Arkansas-bred colt by Army Mule foaled Mar. 12. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $13,800.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: New Shoes, New Saddle, and a New Outlook

This month has not been the month I had hoped it would be. I envisioned lots of field trips, making progress on Fin’s canter, and several more lessons. Instead, this was the month of appointments and worries. It has been hard not to feel down about myself due to the lack of riding, but this is all still progress, just of a different kind!

Jockey Cindy Murphy Hospitalized With Broken Ribs, Fractured Pelvis After Gate Incident

Eight wins shy of the 2,000-win milestone, jockey Cindy Murphy was severely injured in an incident at the starting gates at Prairie Meadows on Sunday.

The 2-year-old filly Crypto Mo, trained by her husband Travis Murphy, acted up in the gates and was scratched from the evening's sixth race. Murphy reports that the filly was uninjured.

Murphy was transported to the hospital and diagnosed with eight broken ribs, four pelvic fractures, and a tear in her abdominal wall. Murphy told the Paulick Report that since none of the fractures are displaced she will not require surgery.

Doctors do expect Murphy will be non-weightbearing for at least a month, and the rehabilitation process is expected to take several additional months.

“It's gonna be a long haul,” Murphy said.

The 60-year-old Murphy has been a jockey since 1987, according to Equibase.

She has ridden 18,087 Thoroughbred starters, and is credited with winning the first-ever race held at Prairie Meadows in 1989.
