I never have been a fan of horses with amazing turn of foot stretching out, unfortunately with Lady Eli there is no way to really use my thoughts to bet against her.

going to be interesting to see the odds today in the Diana
we have some interesting psychology going on.
irrational 'zenyatta' style fan money on Antonoe
irrational 'zenyatta' style fan money on Lady Eli
irrational 'conservatism' among horseplayers who just saw Antonoe run a better performance vs the grain then anyone is capable of in this field or probably North America (ohhh I'm afraid of the big names, or the number of turns..., or any other excuse that can justify such conservatism)
If she's not the public choice, she's a bet. Even if it's a small bet, she's a bet if she's not the favorite or very-near favorite.

you can't witness a trip like that, while fully understanding the magnitude, and then not pick her on top(assuming she's not favored or near favored)

Dickinson is tough.
If she's your pick, you will also get good value today.

I am using her as a single in the P4. I feel 5-2 is fair odds on her.

Antonoe got an awful trip and seemed to get squeezed on the rail by Lady Eli coming over in the final 16th on Quidura. Javier seemed to have to pull sharply. Will be an interesting call... Chad Brown horse fouling another by coming in on a horse in between

Happy for Lady Eli, but, it was a garbage call by the Stewards. Both the #4 and #3 should have come down. #2 Antonoe had that race coming up the rail until she was forced out...

I agree but after her gate issue I am now sure she is something really special and may be the best female turfer in NA.
