Horses with records like these are the toughest ones for me evaluate. I had no idea how she was going to run Friday. When a horse dominates weaker and then moves up sharply in class, one of two things usually happens.
1. The horse gets exposed as not having deep reserves and was simply winning big and running fast due to the soft trips against such weak opponents.
2. The horse reveals it had deeper reserves and could actually run a lot faster if forced to press/chase a faster pace against higher quality competition.
That looked like a very nice performance, though I'm still trying to evaluate it. The pace was obviously very fast and softened up some of the front runners, but she did make a nice wide move and draw off.
I didn't get to see all the races that day because I was on the road.
Did anyone feel that the rail was NOT the best place to be that day?
