I can't say Forthewrongreason was/is better than than Silk Kerchief. But the horse got a lousy trip.
If you don't think the horse's trip cost her a 1-2 finish, then you've got to believe that Film Editor and Vatchvendetta are simply better fillies to outclose Forthewrongreason off that trip.

Yeah Stud I know, and Scuds, and Crown, etc.
Some people know how to watch races, some people think they do.
You'd think these guys would get if after a while, how often you see a horse get steadied or impeded in the lane, and then just stop.
Horses aren't all brave, and many of em will just say screw it when stopped and not restart the motor.
You learn to watch the ears, which tell you a lot about how a horse is feeling.
I got screwed. Anyone who coulnd't see that Victor had more horse and was tracveling sweeter, well they just have no hope and can't watch races.
Trying to use what she did after the fact is kinda funny, and moronic.
She got stopped and chucked it.
Its a shame, it really is.
