Q.l.m.

I bet her...she was borderline awful. That was a horrendous group and the third finisher, a neck behind Quick Little Miss, broke lengths behind the field.

Down is the only horse that ran a step in that race.

"Borderline Awful" is a compliment(from you.) Very tough to close ground at this track the last couple days.I like the 2nd and 3rd horse,but congrats to the Calbred connections.If you think the Frankel is a better filly,then I don't think it is a poor effort to finish in front of her(even if the Frankel had trouble.)This is Q.L.M'S best race.She is getting better each race now.Gunna be Mel's last good horse.

She didn't take the turn well, and in the context of the race she ran OK, but the problem is I think the whole field ( save perhaps Down ) stinks. That being my overall feeling it's hard to get excited about anyone.

The real question is why are there no genuinely good fillies anymore. With the loss of Pine Island, the dirt fillies and mares looks like a horrendous division for 2007 and this past BC Juvenile fillies was a disgraceful race.

Why do you say that?

I guarantee you that Frankel thought sure he had 2nd place in this race.QL.M. would not let that filly by for 2nd.These 2 fillies ran so much farther than the winner had to.

Well, considering she spotted the field multiple lengths and was making just her second career start, the first being a 6F race in late October, it is hardly surprising Down hung a bit late in the game. It's hard to believe she won't prove the best of these down the road.

And, despite having his name being soiled on this board by a certain delusion poster's pretend relationship with him, Frankel is a pretty damn good trainer.

I don't think she hung badly.Both lost a ton of ground in the race,and were tired from it,but Q.L.M. started running hard when that filly tried to go by her.I think you'll see that both these fillies are nice.THEY BOTH LOST HUGE GROUND IN THIS RACE.I don't know what more you can ask from 2 year old fillies than to keep running in the stretch after that.
