On I Can See, from SA barn notes today.....

I Can See lives up to her name each time she runs, although she sees only half as well as other horses. She only has one eye. “When she comes on the outside, she always hesitates a little because she can’t see the other horses,” said her trainer, Steve Knapp, who saddled I Can See to a runner-up finish at 21-1 in Saturday’s Grade III Tuzla Handicap. “She ran a huge race,” added Knapp, who trains the 5-year-old daughter of Flying Chevron for owner Michael Miller of Laytonsville, Md. “She was born without the (left) eye. I claimed her from (Vladimir) Cerin for $80,000. She’s a nice filly and she had a lot to overcome in the Tuzla. She was so far behind and had to go so wide coming into the lane. She doesn’t wear any blinkers. She was trained on the rail when she was a baby, and I think she’s a little gamer when she does come through on the rail because she can see all the horses.” The Kentucky-bred mare has a 4-9-2 record from 36 starts, with earnings of $289,723 .
