Last out at GP, Dixie Dawn had a poor break and Edgar rushed up in a 21 and change qtr, couldn't get any closer than a chasing 2nd, and she was looking for a gas station when they turned for home.

Today, she's 2nd choice to Bedside Story

has a clear lead

Bedstide Story is stalking on the rail when she gets squeezed back to last just when they're entering the turn

she swings widest of all, moves to third on the turn and makes a bid in the stretch but can't threaten Dixie Dawn

That's the trip end of it.

What do the quant guys say? Which was the better horse.

If BS has her inside trip, does she win?

I'll also mention that DD was hit once or twice in the stretch and ran a very straight path through it.

The track is sloppy.

I had DD a couple of lengths better than Bedside Story and I also had DD as much the best in terms of closing ability....so if you give BS 2-2.5 lengths because of the trip, then DD still wins by at least 2, which is where I had it pegged....
