It's unbelievable, the lack of coverage on MA's race; NYRA doesn't have a recap, nor does DRF or the BloodHorse. I'm rather annoyed - they recap NY bred races but they can't give us a few quotes on MA?
I realize that, off of a similar (though somewhat shorter) layoff last year (from October of her two year old season to Keenelend in April), she did show the same explosive kick she'd had as a baby. That wasn't quite there yesterday. However, I really think Bobby didn't train her that hard for this race -lots of long, slow works. I'd really like to know what he thought of her race......too bad I can't find a quote anywhere. When is the Beverly D anyway? Is there enough time to run her between now and then?
I still have all the confidence in the world in this girl; I don't want to abandon her after one comeback race
