If you werent interested in getting into it with me, you shouldnt have taken those cheap shots.

As for the race, 11 horses in a distaff field is rare in and of itself. But if you want to discuss the individual merits of each horse:

1. mooncatcher- multiple graded stakes winner and 2-2 at track with lifetime best 100 beyer coming at the track.

2. Santa Teresita- stake winner. longhot. Finished nice second to Zenyatta last out. Pace impact.

3. All smiles- garbage filler

4. Buy the barrel- multiple stake winner including grade 2 last out. 5-2-1 at track.

5. Overunder- another pace impact although little chance to win.

6. Lemon Drop Mom- multiple stakes winner. 4 for 8 at track 7 for 8 in the money at track. Outsider but has a lifetime best 100 beyer at this track. Capable.

7. Kathleens Reel- another multiple stake winner. ran third in last two races in graded stake company.

8. Hysterical lady- Obvious credentials. But flopped in one try at course.

9. Unbridled belle- obvious again. 5-4-1 at track but has bounced of previous two 100+ beyer performances

10. Spring Waltz- has won four straight including grade 2 rampart. Last two beyers are better than anyone else in field.

11. Copper State- finished suck up second to unbridled belle last out. not much chance.



In all, 10 stake winners, 5 graded stake winners and 7 graded stakes placed horses.

Thats competitive any way you cut it and it is rare to see that type of field these days.
