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

yea. The layoff was really the only question. "would she be a little sluggish off the time off?". She was much the best in her debut, but got outrun. The 4 consecutive 3furlong drills were a good sign. Figures aside, nobody in the field has the ability to run with her maiden race in november.

I'm looking at the trainer stats for the 5th race in the BRIS PPs.

So, Motion is 100%, 2 for 2, 1st time off the claim, with an ROI of 7.60.

Very nice. His filly is thus an UNDERVALUED 7:2, in a tough race.

Motion is also +0.22 running back off a 90+ day layoff. She hasn't raced in over 9 months.

I don't get why you'd claim a horse and immediate give it a 9-month layoff unless something's seriously wrong.

The assumption was that Motion straightened out her problems and she was ready to roll.

She ran a decent 3rd but my only point was that she was an underlay as a result of the trainer stats.

Song of Love was WHIPPED

EARLY and OFTEN

Staggered home. Big Brother would've been proud with that stretch run. Has he ever felt the sting of the whip EARLY TURN?
