After barely holding off Golden Doc A at 7f last time, I was told that it was further proof that Indian Blessing couldn't get past a mile. Well, she got past a mile again today, again beating Proud Spell. Yeah, she was getting late again in the lane but as I said last time, what does that matter? She was set to run the conditions of today's race and ran them well.
Who knows how far she will go but if she was in a race with just about any 3yo male not named War Pass or El Gato Malo, at this point, I don't see any that I'd take over her up to 8.5 or maybe even 9f. Her speed is a bigger advantage than it is a disadvantage.
