I'm impressed just my evaluating the PPs and then looking at the charts and seeing that she ran down a filly who was on an easy and crawling early pace of almost a 50-second half-mile.....plus, it was that fillies home track and she ran honestly fast in her debut (Ritchey's filly)....
I noticed the race was two-turns too, which is perfect.....Nick obviously wanted to try and get her an easy route test and is probably timing her for October 6th Alcibaides at Keeneland - where her devoid speed shouldn't be at a disadvantage there now with Polytrack...he'll get to keep her around two-turns in this 1 1/16-mile race and it is a perect 3 1/2 weeks till the race and another month to the BC Juvy fillies - so it appears to be the perfect sport for her..
He could also opt for the Frizette the following week at Belmont - but I really cannot see him turing her back to one-turn and hooking the effective sprinters such as Magical Ride and Octave....
I would bet a bundle she surfaces at KEE, and I bet we get a bit of a price on her due to the fact she is not a stakes filly yet, hasn't been flashy in her races, and exits a DEL allowance....she may be one helluva play at 5-1 or better...we'll see....
