That said, there are small flickers worth noting. A sixth-place finish sits in there, which at least suggests Sonoma Sunset has not always been trailing the field by a distance. But the 22nd-place run is hard to overlook — in a sport where finishing positions matter, that kind of result points to a day where things went badly wrong. Whether that was ground, pace, or something else entirely, it drags the overall picture down.
Racing at 4 years old with six races under her belt, Sonoma Sunset is still relatively early in her career, and she raced just yesterday, so the team clearly has not given up. Some horses take time to find their feet, and with no wins from 6 attempts, patience is clearly what is being asked of anyone following her. Whether that patience is eventually rewarded remains to be seen.
