I think she got sick after the El Encino and didn't come back the same.

She won by 18 in this race, yeah. It was her first time going two turns. I think it's the 2nd or 3rd fastest BSF (119) ever given to a filly, not that I put a whole lot of stock in it. It's just unusual that a filly that ran such a fast fig is basically forgotten.

After he monster win, she got sick, got colic, got hurt and I think almost died two to three separate times.

When she returned something like 18-24 months later, she was nothing.

I have her PP's lying around somewhere, as I've posted them here before. If you like, I'll try to find it and repost them.

Thanks!

I am assuming he is entered because they are expecting a foot of rain over the next week and this might be on the main track against a small field?

Yep, they mentioned that in the DRF a couple of days ago. At face value, though, its still a ridiculous turn of events given the disparity between the two races involved.

Say he wins an off-the-turf San Marcos, next out he could be in the Big Cap. If he loses, he could run for $40k or less. As DrugS mentioned elsewhere in this thread, there's obviously a thin line separating a graded stakes horse from an allowance (in this case claiming) horse.

its a national trend
