Magnificience running today
 

Bruce Headley's 3 yr old filly goes again today in thr 3rd at Santa Anita.. Was very, very impressive in her maiden romp.. 3 other fillys to beat though.. Who was the horse that ran second to her last time out?? Ran against some stiff competition last 2 if I'm not mistaken..

Was it Chocolate Lava? Going by memory....I might be wrong.

Here is a read on her for today's race

This race sucks ass.

With this tiny field it should set up well for Coco Belle. Magnificience will have to be real good to win.

Well she's good!!!!!!

She's real good, broke nicely. Impressive win.

I know it was only a 4 horse field...but I loved the way whe moved...switched leads perfectly and once she did that...she pulled away impressively.

Very professional for a 2nd time starter.

Strong workout.

holy cow! 1:14.61

6.5 furlongs? she improved a full second of her first try.

fast filly here.

Is that the Iron Sheik holding the crystal trophy?

She's all legs!

Alex Solis is soooo sleeepy.

When she changed leads and pinned her ears alittle more,,,,,,,,,,,,,, She took off like a rocket and went 1:14 for 6 1/2f . Looked impressive to me.

Alex is pretty much done riding ecept for a few trainers like Headley and Hendrix.

that was the only thing I was looking for as they turned for home...and when she did...you are right...she took off. Granted Coco Belle backing up made it look even better...but still, she looked very professional in her stride.


I'm just glad I was able to feel her legs through the computer screen...that gave me all indications she was fit and ready to run. Nice conformation too...

Alex said that she put herself on the pace and he was just along for the ride.

How many races do you think she'll have in her career? I say no more than 10.

retired after the Ky Oaks, Im sure...what left to prove?

She's going to run in the Oaks? Oh please god make it so. She'll be the biggest underlay in Oaks history.

have no clue...was just being a smartass...

I just see her getting injured. She looks like a sore horse.

At this point you could probably say the field for the Oaks will look something like this:

Rags to Riches
Magnificience
Panty Raid
Octave
Cotton Blossom
Christmas Kid
Times' Mistress

Folk was listed as a possible prior to the UAE Derby..not sure on her status now. With the additions of Riches & Magnificience the class of the filly crop this year is looking better than the past two years for the Oaks.

You didn't like Lemons Forever?!?!?!:eek:

I actually love Lemons! (I don't think she is very good though)

I do think Balance is a really lovely horse, she just didn't run a good race that day.

Actually the La Troienne S G3 on Derby Day might be more reasonable for Magnificience...but it was nice to dream for a moment.

I say the 3 yo filly races at Hollywood are most likely the road Bruce Headly will take. He doesnt like to take his young horses on the road. Arson Squad and the "Cat" horse of his are recent examples of that. Although he did sell a % of the filly before this race. Not sure how much Hill and Dale will try and influence Headley to go for the Ky Oaks. He's quite stubborn, so i see her continuing her career at Hollywood. Time will tell..

Sealy Hill belongs on that list she has already defeated panty raid and shes very well bred.....also i just watched the replay of magnificience's race and she is a awesome filly, after today i like her better then rags to riches

Don't forget about Autobahn Girl.

So much insight and so utterly wrong. How bout less quantity of posts and just one with a modicum of quality?

How about you let go of my nuts?

oh my goodness what a performance! I cant wait to see her run against rags to riches. those two fillies are awesome. They remind me of lightly raced Excellent Meeting and Silverbulletday. awesome

My side hurts from laughing.

I would have to agree with you. I don't think there is any chance that she will run in the Ky Oaks. Headley is smarter than that. You don't run a horse in a 1 1/8 mile race coming out of a a 6 1/2 furlong race. I highly doubt she will run in the Oaks.

And bred to.......The Green Monkey!!! :D

Jimi?

Such seriousness from Hawk, and Pants comes back with this, oh man, I'm dying laughing. I got tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Sore or short career or whatever, that was a scintillating performance. 1:08 flat for 6F?!?

You gotta get out more often.

Back to the issue at hand, she ran a 109 Beyer.
