I'm just glad the race is over, I was so nervous. Remember that she'd been off for 8 months and Bobby hasn't asked her for any speed in her workouts.......none. He said in the DRF that he didn't have her fully cranked; I'm sure that accounts for her more workmanlike effort. Actually, MA made a very nice move around the turn and she was wide. I think we'll see a more typical MA race next time out - 8 months is a long time away to expect a truly explosive move. I expect this race to have done her a world of good - you can have all the workouts in the world, but they don't equal a real race experience
