Mike, these aren't even good bad horses, they are less than mediocre supposed good horses. I know you didn't say she was a star, but you are totally biased in regards to this horse, and can't really believe she is technically better than mediocre allowance horses. She is just too flat out slow. And, I feel VERY confident her best races are behind her....not in front of her.
How did Sis City do at Monmouth a couple weeks ago?

Well what is Bushfire? You are telling me that based on that staggerfest down the lane that she will have any impact at all in her next races going longer. I thought that race was by far the most disgusting race of the day.
It wouldnt have taken much of an effort to beat her, thats for sure.
I disagree on Wait A While, I think shes a very nice horse and better than the horses who ran in the Acorn. Todd had to juggle the three year olds and of course had to run the Coolmore horse in the Acorn, its a given. I think Wait A While would have crushed them, of that i have no doubt.
And lets see where her best races are after Saturday. Thats a decent field she is facing for 175 grand.
Sis City is obviously done. But Ricky and Goldfarb made an incredible score with her and I doubt they care much. I doubt the pople who bought her care much either. Broodmares who have won grade ones are very hard to find. Look at what Riskaverse went for at auction last year.
Rick just made another bundle on the Silver Train deal. People can hate him all they want, He just keeps winning big races and making huge deposits in the bank. I doubt he cares much what people think.
