Rosario did the best he could with the hand he was dealt. Don't forget she was also carrying high weight of 124. Two very good mares. Both of which will be more than 5 or 6 to one if they try the two biggest mamma jamma's MONOMOY GIRL and SWISS SKYDIVER in the Apple Blossom. That's a race I'd pay to see.

Letruska has also been a different horse without blinkers, not as speed crazy and headstrong. While she didn't win the race, I think this is a good development for her and thought she ran one of her better races on Saturday.
