She did look very good the other day but I'm with BTW. Her debut was on the grass (I believe) and then her next two were on the fake dirt. The good thing for her is that if she winters out here in Southern California or goes back to Keeneland for a race like the Ashland, she will get to continue on the fake stuff. Her first race on the real dirt might not come until the Kentucky Oaks if she continues to stay healthy and on that route. I guess that in that same way, we have to wonder how Indian Blessing will fare on the fake stuff if they race her on it this winter at Santa Anita. She appears to have been working fine on it but then again, it's Baffert and they always work fast. Indian Blessing began her career on the fake stuff down at Del Mar but I think from all indications, that stuff was even further away from dirt than the fake stuff at SA and Hollywood so it wasn't a true indicator. In either case, I think that both of them are interesting fillies to watch and have bright futures ahead of them.
