![]() To be fair, it was her first off a 6+ month layoff and to her credit, tried to do something -- attend the pace -- that she'd never done before. It was the winner, who is graded stakes placed and 2nd/layoff, that got the favorable trip (as she plotted to).

![]() She broke a bit slowly, and could have easily sat 3rd on the rail. But that wasn't good enough for Smith, who had to put her 3 wide and near the lead.. He then dropped back to where he would have been to begin with, except 3 wide instead of saving some ground. Came up short in the stretch. I'm not saying she's much, but she would have won that race with a smarter ride.

![]() I agree that the winner got the best trip there, but to be fair, Ebblouissante got a pretty favorable trip behind the 5 pressing the 1 and had first run.

![]() O.k, so we chalk this race up as an experiment, first race off a layoff and a bad ride by Mike Smith.
The next race she should really be "the one". |

![]() Hope we never have to hear about her again. That was a no-excuse loss to a freaking turf horse.

![]() There was no evidence Macha was solely a turf horse. She never even tried dirt before, and the sire is Majestic Warrior, typically a dirt sire.

![]() Yeah, I'm sure she'll turn out to be a real superstar on dirt. She ran almost 3 lengths slower than $8,000 claimers did in the previous race.
