8th Santa Anita

[Rupert Pupkin]

She hopped in the air and lost about 10-12 lengths at the break. Then she rushed up and ended up fading badly. Even though she lost 10-12 lengths at the break, I can't really use it as an excuse, as bad as she ended up finishing. I'll still probably give her another chance next time. She may be a different horse if she breaks good and gets the lead. Some of these young horses won't run if they're behind horses getting dirt in their face.
