Fast and against the grain.
Jose Ortiz and/or Cristophe Clement whimped-out with Celestine, and handed Sassy Little Lila the race on a silver platter.
Cox while not handling the stock of Brown, can be every bit as potent as Brown with what he is working with, on any given day. The 6 Sassy Little Lila ran at her peak performance on a dream setup.
7 Antonoe ran
THROUGH the setup.
Give Castellano some credit for a heads-up reaction. A lesser rider may have stopped riding or found traffic.
This was a good, high quality filly, and Brown has her not only back in form, but at a new peak.
It was clear before the race that there was a reasonable chance that the 7 was the best animal in the field, but this race was over by 6 furlongs. She wasn't supposed to be able to pull that off. That was astonishing.
