That horse may have been the most foolishly placed horse I had been waiting to bet in my entire lifetime. Early in the 2005 Saratoga meet she returned off a layoff and was totally given a race....sent to the front even though she was never a speed and finished nowhere. I waited the whole meet for her and she finally showed up in a maiden race on closing day.....against colts! Brilliant move by then trainer Pete Vestal. She lost the whole thing by about a length at 20-1.
Obviously she jogged at a short price against fillies in her next start.
Pete Vestal, in a completely unrelated point of course, is no longer training.
