10 pnt,
Ya can't go that slow early and expect to make any thing up. Just my 2 pennies worth.

She was a length behind just before the stretch and then 4 behind, how did that happen? That had nothing to do with the pace of the race.

From what little I know, if a horse is strangled early, it wastes a lot of energy later.
you might be right that something is wrong with her, but I don't think so.
The jockeys were playing a game early. Neither wanted the lead.
Choke, choke, choke.

she had several slow paces last year where she had to do the same thing.

I'm not arguing with you.
Heck, each race sets up a little bit differently, despite similarities.
Giving My Typhoon the lead after going that slow early doesn't bode well for catching her.
From my experience being around 'em, horses are different from day to day.
I sure hope nothing is wrong with Wait a While. I've always liked her.
Maybe today she just didn't fire.

i know, just discussing the race....I dont think its a big deal that Wait A While was beat because My Typhoon is solid and she did get a good setup, its the way she was beat that would be big concern if you ask me.

Yup, no disagreemnt there. The one that really disppointed me was Miss Shop. She looked like she was coming and fizz city. H Allen usually does better prepping, especially after a slow early.
My Typhoon just had her day today.
No big blame.
Hope they all came out well.
