She didn't show up again and was trounced a long way at 2/1 odds today.
Dehere offspring have those mind-boggling ROI numbers on debut from such a huge sample size ... not necessarily because the offspring are precocious, but because they tend to fool clockers and trainers with how they train. They over-perform initial placement and expectations.
Pull up the past performances on them, and you'll see that pattern jump out at you after you've looked at more than a hundred of them.
Dehere's usually aren't the hardiest of horses...and the mother was ultra game, but not exactly hardy. Pedigree is extremely tilted to sprint VS route... though your trainer does a good job at getting horses to route.
I would say don't even bother with the Fairgrounds. She hasn't shown up twice in a row, she's bred best for poly, and she's an ILLI bred.
Rest her until Arlington, sprint her, and space her races and you'll get the best out of her.
