Yeah, but the trainer stuff is unavoidable.

That horse only ran one time on a dirt track prior ... it ran a 94 pace figure and 70 final figure in career start #2 at FG against winners. Basically looking like a filly with a bright future for four furlongs and than falling apart in the stretch.

It's trainer at the time - Jeff Thornbury - was 2-for-44 at FG with a $0.27 ROI for the meet this year.

To me - it just looked like a little maturation, plus a wet track, plus Pletcher's superior teeth cleaning program helped the filly sustain her FG speed for an extra furlong and a half.

How bad is Stidham? Someone present some data showing this guy is really a trainer rather than a clown. He's winning 20% this year?

When a trainer can 'substantially' move up a Pletcher horse, I'll believe this.Todd should have had a special award presented for him for actually turning A.P. Arrow into a grade 2 winner, this horse was a plug. I'm not sure anyone could have done as much with the Arrow.
