On the grass could be interesting.

She's broken her maiden on the grass, last out at Tampa, and pretty easily. Glad to see her back here, though I wish she had a better post.

I never put her in my stable mail -- so I didn't know that. Thanks for the info though, I should have realized she broke her maiden somewhere if she was in an allowance, duh.

I was impressed by her first race because she ran on well after tailing off early.

You're very welcome! I remember her first race because, of course, I was pretty psyched about it. I thought maybe she was going to be a plodder after that, but of course, Mott does not rush his horses and Orate is not bred to sprint. Seems he must have had turf in mind all along or she would have been given another chance on the main track. I was actually wondering today where she was, so this was a great thread for me to pop into....Love her full brother, who is a good grass sire, so I'm not surprised she took to turf. I'm crossing my fingers that she stays healthy!

Looking at it quickly look she's got in drawn into the
tougher of the two divisions. The horse just inside
her is also a Came Home filly

Agreed, just got done handicapping the card...STILL they're all just three year old fillies, anyway you look at it...she will be a price.
The bottom line is long as she comes back "fit and fine" after her effort.

You never know if you don't try. Stranger things have happen

Breaking your maiden at Mountaineer/running second for open 20K at TP then on to a AX1 at Keeneland. Like I said an aggressive spot. It will be a tough race but its true anything can happen once the gates open. Came Home's do seem to like a little route as they mature. The Gone West line seems to enjoy the synthetic surface also.

Not too many spots for a horse like ours City. But we aren't undefeated and if she can be competitive with these we will be in good shape.

good luck!

and stay warm...

I did not see a work published for today. Looks like a pretty nice field. And SWLY will probably get the lead whether she wants it or not... good luck to us, and thanks Chuck for all the work getting the filly to this point. Looking forward to coming home and watching the race on Wednesday.

I agree with Hooves...but I'll take 28-1 in the tri or super.

Chuck has a pretty nice obscure trainer angle: 2nd Route Race (29 10% +2.65).... but perhaps more impressive, 20% off the 31-90 days layoff....3rd highest behind Pletcher and Proctor.

Let's hope it comes through and that Brisnet Prime Power Rating is turned upside down on its head for this race.

[packerbacker7964]

Hey these young'ens get better in no time at all. She's gotten bigger and she's had a little time between races to fill out. I hope she comes back sound and go from there. Like they say being the underdog they never see you coming. Keeneland Turf favors her style and although she's in with some tough ones I like her chances to hit the board.

I hear trainer-speak (also known as "reality"

Didn't you pick her out as you thought there could be upside? This is probably not her spot, but as you've told us, the only way to find out where she belongs is to run her.

I think we'll all be thrilled if she shows the improvement she's promised in her training, because then you can spot her where you'd really like her to be

[MisterB]

Best of luck to the connections. I'm routing for ya all.

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

listen folks..we need to give huge 5 rattles to steve and chuck....when your talking about an idea thats one thing...... but to follow up..set up the llc find the horse get the money ..and make it to the races with a real shot of a horse with upside is phenomenal.....if she makes one step over the finish line its a big deal...to say youve created something that so many will enjoy is even better than how the horse runs..hes in tough here..but you have to sit back and smile knowing when you see dee tee in the drf..your part of it..congrats to steve and chuck ..great job..........

[AeWingnut]

I have to drive over 6 hours 1 way but I am tickled to go.
This is great.
I think she will jump up 10 points on the surface switch
10 more on the change in distance and another 10 with Chuck.

She will be competitive. as long as I(the heaviest $2 in racing), don't bet her she could actually WIN

and I'm setting down the pipe now

Can someone tell me what is the proper etiquette on placing a bet for the jockey is?

wow.. going to Keeneland and watching my horse run

[disappearingdan_akaplaya]

first of all congratulations to everyone involved on the filly? yes you guys havent even ran yet but its justa accomplishment in itself to be a owner(running your first race@KEE wow am i envious!) and also a accomplishment just 2 getta horse to the race! yeah its a ambitious spot but im sure chuck has her fit and ready to go it'll just be a matter of the horses talent, not to mention the jock has a very high ITM%! im pullin so hard for all of you's, safe trip for the gal and BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
