Glad someone mentioned that. Were she not the 3/2 favorite and a $3.2 million purchase, I think she would've been taken down.

That very last bump should of been the cherry on top. It's amazing to me that they think all that has no effect on the outside horse. When you win by a neck, it doesn't take that much interference to cost you the race. I saw one that was even worse at HWD PARK (the Saturday before last.) Very tiny little Mullins filly doing anything possible to keep a bigger horse from going by. I have zero idea why they left her up in that little stakes. They often ignore herding. If you know you're gunna get passed, you might as well try it(because they often let guys get away with it.)

That's a tough call between Song of Love , and Music Note. Song of Love has already shown the turn of foot to probably overcome the inside post. She is better in the middle of the race, and Music Note is probably a bit better finisher (although that could be shown incorrect if "Song" improves tomorrow.) I don't think I would try to single the race.

I'm all for talking about more races and stuff, but it really helps if people actually have a real opinion and discuss it, instead of just mentioning nearly the entire field.
I'll take Fischer off IGGY next time there's a MATCH RACE and I need to narrow down the contenders to ONLY 2. Oh wait; that would probably be much too difficult for him and he'd need to enlist the aid of his equally discerning buddy Keilan.

1) A Rose For You
2) Song Of Love
3) Better Again

I'm thinking Charming is not ready for this kind of race and I have my doubts about Music Note as well.

i agree that this is a real nice field for n1x on a thursday.

Then, she appeared lost in the stretch as to what she was supposed to do. While the duelers ran last and next to last, it's hard to say for sure whether she got a perfect trip or was compromised by being close early. And, should she find herself in the lead close to the wire again today, she might just know how to finish.

Tough race with no real value.

They said Music Note got sick in Quarantine and never went to Dubai.

Charming looks less built like a sprinter in the paddock , then on the kenne rplay.

I still think Charming's a play-against at 2-1. She might be the real deal, but her debut win was eh.

I still think she is the most likely winner but 2-1 is no bargain. Song of Love at 9-2 is the value if the odds don't move.

Not much value on Music Note, but clearly much the best. She's got some turn of foot.

Looks like "they" were right though. I could've ridden that winner.
