I don't believe that she had ever raced in the slop before. We wound up on the lead because there wasn't much speed in the race and we were wanting to get off the inside which is just awful at Philly, especially when it is wet. I was a little afraid of getting her pinned down behind horses and having to stay inside. The way the 5 ran I dont think anything we would have done outside of Dave Blaha running out on the track at the quarter pole and tackling her, would have worked. While she earned enough to pay her way to AP, it is tempting to take another shot at that condition at Philly. I suppose we should see how she comes out of the race before we decide anything. She is far from the most talented horse in the world but she does try her hardest.
