she looked okay, needed the race defiantly. think she might need one more before i would jump back to the top class though.

The :4: was moving well and I thought she might overtake AF late, but then she seemed to shy away/hang a bit when she came up on AF.

I boxed the others in a tri ......and left her out.........

she made me look like a dolt............

Mordecai made my day though..........

There were some nice prices today. I sat on my hands......most of it. Couldn't get a handle on some of those races

That was a good play.
A year off and a bowed tendon. She could just have easily have been pulled up as won. 1-5 was an insane price on her

I thought if they were ever going to beat her, it would be today. Apparently she has come back pretty good. I thought it would it be worth a shot. If she was out....... I surmise it would have been a nice Trifecta

“There was a lot of pressure today,” trainer Chad Brown said. “She had been training very well. You can never have a horse coming off this type of injury at a full fitness level. We brought her in here a little short fitness-wise, but nice and sound and healthy."

I'm extremely glad she won for Chad today. Its been a long, long road back.

I love that Stronach kept her in training and that they kept Sanchez on her. We don't see enough of either, so huge kudos for both moves. I hope she finds a nice soft spot for her second effort back, and has a long, productive, and undefeated career.

Stronach gets alot of flack here, but when he gets a good one, he isn't looking at the first exit off the highway so to speak. I will always respect him for that. If more owners were as sporting as he was, the sport would be much better off.

She should improve, but that was a weak field she barely beat and she didn't run particularly fast either. I also don't think she was anything special as a 2YO. So unlike Uncle Mo, I don't think there's some very high top that she could theoretically achieve with normal development. I hope she does well, but I suspect she's going to make an excellent "bet against" soon off her reputation as the undefeated 2YO champ.

Excellent play.
Made the same call and put a show bet on the others as well.
