track may have been souped that day...I remember the 1rst that day,I think a Opt Claiming race 6f finished in 1:08 and remember talk of that mostly from Hard Spun fans who were expecting a wire-to-wire victory. As of late and I really only follow Fri and w/e's it seems to be playing fair. Just think it doesn't make sense shipping to Belmont unless it was a stop on the way to Toga and it's likely she'll really be challenged start to finish in any Spa race.
Maybe I could see the reasoning she was coming back at both Pearls and Chateu and may have caught them on a longer stretch?
