click racing, then video.

#2-1.35.00 winning time.
splits- :22.84, :46.10, 1:10.51, 1:35.05
how would our girl have made out today? my untrained eyes say second again, 1 length back.

A bit heartbreaking, and I sure hope this result serves as a lesson for the "aggressive spot" yappers:

30-1 shot wins on the lead in splits that Sumwon would have been happy to stalk close up... :22.4, :46.0, 1:10.2, 1:35.0...

The "unbeatable" 3-5 Pletcher miss an uninvolved fourth, 15 lengths back... Would have been tough to keep SWLY out of the money in this..

yep, so much for no shot while on the lead.

but if she wasnt feeling well at shipping time ..the right dec was made..there are more races,,keep your heads up

NO question the correct decsion was made !

It is too bad she did not get in this one, she would have had a real good shot.

Certainly was well spotted there by Chuck, just wasn't meant to be...

I agree with all the posts. Chuck had found a good spot for her, but the right decision was made not to ship if she wasn't up to par. As Steve said it was disappointing nonetheless.

Keep checking those condition books Chuck and Steve, you'll find another black type race for her

Pretty much... gate to wire in all on the dirt, but the 7th...

Oh well, "that's how the cookie crumbles!"

For those who don't know, Chuck has updated the blog...
