The bay mare, by Occupy Arden Lass, was one of the swiftest sprinters around, and that takes in colts, but was unfortunate in the matter of injuries. Last year, the Amazon-like miss won three out of four starts, including the Oceanport and Regret Handicaps, before she bowed a tendon. Usually when this ailment hits a horse, it marks the end of a racing career. Occasionally some come back in good form, but it is a most Tare occurrence. Lucky Draw is one that comes to mind, but it doesnt happen often. Bernie Bond, who trains Cinda, is hoping that the mare will be an exception to the rule. Not much of a work horse, she went 1:16 breezing, in her first drill in some time. She will be tried at the races again, but if she fails to stand the rigors of training-, she will be retired to stud. In her brief career last year, she beat a number of top ranking colts, including Squared Away, while the year before she won six of 12 starts and was out of the money only three times. That year she beat male horses in the Cherry Blossom and also won the Colonial, Betsy Ross and Regret Handicaps.
