Jazil in the Wood and the Japanese closer from a couple of years ago were also impressive. Here's the Japanese Dark Horse.

I think I heard that somewhere too. It was just a maiden race, sounds reasonable.

She ran a ok race in the Breeders's, considering she was soooo well placed...she was way too far back. Maybe the put a jock on her that can get her a bit closer to the pace she may have a shot

She has Evening Attire syndrome. I've never seen her break well this year. Hey didn't she get sold? Did they retire her?

Shes still a graded stake filly, since she done that for Joke woodard first out off of 2 works.

Since we are talking about donnaguska, I like this Soorahguska that is about to run at HWP (30-1).

Default shes fine?

the comments on the youtube claim that she ripped off 2 shoes and had bruised hooves. vanned off as a precaution and according to the person was reported as being sound (this morning?) .

when i watched her 2nd race, i hadn't seen the first race and it looked like a typical case of a horse not stepping up in class to face winners after looking good in her maiden...

after seeing the maiden race, she wasn't up to the level of her maiden race and it wasn't a case of class.
