She started even with Tizzy's Tune at the quarter pole, then she 'distanced' that one by a whole 2 lengths, while both of them steadily retreated. I mean, look at who was in that race? Dream Rush, Jazzy, etc. In the mean time Venture was gaining 9 lengths between the quarter and the half while 8 (out of 12) other horses were also gaining. THAT's IMPRESSIVE ****; not wiring the field when the track is in your favor. Can any of those girls run when the bias is not in their favor? Absolutely not. I sit here reading thread after thread about all the impressive one dimensional dirt horses and how synthetics are bad for the game. Then I chuckle when these 'plodders' fall on their face when a little bit of athleticism or other than one dimensional racing is required.
She needed the race. We can hook her up with a rail trip at AQU next out.
