so, the one man jamie sanders fan club shows up...with motives pure as the driven snow no doubt.

Would it be crazy to give our girl a nice long rest??

Ever since the Churchill race she seems to be working with a little less turn of foot to the naked eye. The heart will still bring a tear of pride to your eye but what limited instincts I have about all of this says she would be stronger if we let her have some time away from a grueling August campaign while Chuck gets a chance to develop some more confidence to go with that tenacious will to outrun her sisters......

She split a nice field. Its very hard to win a race, let alone a race at the spa.

Shes paying for herself at this point, which is more than a lot of horses do. Hopefully she breaks through for you guys soon.

I think Chuck was previously talking maybe one more race this season, if she comes out if this fine and something suitable is around, then a nice vacation before starting next season in New Orleans.

Gotta say it again: Chuck, Cherie, TC, Steve - THANK YOU!

Whatta ride!

I disagree. She gets out of the gate pretty well, but I think her strength is being able to continue a fast (but not quite sprinter-fast) pace through the second and third quarter and still (before Sunday's try at 9f) have something left for the stretch. From what I have seen from her, I think 8f-8.5f is where she will do her best running.

Agreed. She has a good motor but she is not sprinter fast. She does exit the gate very well based on the 4 races I have seen. With her high cruising speed she is going to get tired. I think a mile is the distance. I still believe she was very well placed in this race even though we lost. Considering she was at Saratoga, Mr. Simon found a very good spot and we learned a bit I believe.

That is one awesome looking horse that the group has. From what I have been reading about her she has come a long way and the group should hold thier heads up high. Could it of been the hot weather that messed her up a little bit, in addition to the distance? From what I see just under 1 1/8 seems to be the proper distance for her. Don't worry her day will come soon. I can almost guarantee that.
