While I was wrong about her chances, her victory was remarkably unimpressive when you look at her trip/performance.

She broke perfectly from stall four, and raced comfortably in 2nd place through very slow early factions of 23.75 and 47.29. By comparison, NY Bred 3yo MCL's set fractions of 23.22 and 46.73 in the very next race!

Boca Grande overpowered the Pletcher runner, who ran terrible, on the turn....and won in a final time of 1:36.54 By comparison, a 35K claimer, taken off the turf, was run in 1:35.89 in race 4. Meanwhile, a NY-Bred N1X allowance, also taken off-the-turf, in race #6 was run in 1:36.66

Boca Grande makes Smuggler and Pine Island look like Inside Information and Heavenly Prize.

And if anyone is looking for a Chalupa, and are curious as to which location to find me at, just know that I am not a man of my word.....
i'll take a nachos bell grande please, no beans. and some of those cinnamon thingies, those are good! don't forget to wash your hands when you use the restroom!!
