i know larry jones is very high on proud spell, and said after her last that he 'wouldn't trade places with anyone' with that filly. of course they all say things like that after a loss with a horse brand new to the scene, especially when they show they could have more in reserve. but proud spell does have a lot of upside, while indian appears to have shown everyone that she has limits. but no other horse, as yet, has proven that indian blessing can't finish. altho not looking as strong at the finish as she has at the start, IB has still managed to win them all...so far. of course we all know that most horses don't continue to win them all. but only three horses to push blessing? hmmm...
i know baffert has been trying to teach her to relax more, listen to the rider...but we also all know that not all racehorses are willing pupils.
