I was wrong, and it took a lucky break on a dq for me to cash.
Thanks although I discounted her when the odds weren't high enough for my taste. My point was more that the good turf mares this year were better than the best distaff mares. I think the Beyers of the BC races certainly reflect that. Whether Asi Siempre would take to the dirt was anyone's guess but I didn't think it should surprise anyone that she could beat Happy Ticket at Keeneland and that with her running style in a speed laden race she shouldn't be discounted entirely in the Distaff.
