Jimmy’s Prediction: Last year at this time Sara and Somerset II looked to me as if they were ready to establish themselves as true four-star contenders. However, the past 12 months of Sara and Somerset’s life has been a bit up and down. We can only hope that she’ll be able to finish this weekend on a positive note.
