i was really hoping she would run , and as much as I love the Breeders cup weekend, I would have passed all other races, and bet my whole bank against her. She just wasn't going to go pressing/stalking a strong pace while wide for 10 furlongs, and hold on against a world class field on a track that isn't favoring speed. She is the best dirt horse in USA, but that would have been asking too much of her. I REALLY wanted her to go and it is a big disappointment that really hurts. I need to stop being a bitch and buck up.
Obviously it is only september 11, and for all we know the track could end up having a big speed bias, or Borel could have surprised and rated her midpack while covered, but there would have been a huge opportunity through one of the pools that would have been too much to pass up.
Can't wait for the BC. I plan on getting together with my father and having a nice day.
