HL goes up for sale in a week or two. I doubt she'll ever run again, but if she does, hopefully she gets smarter connections.

She had a pretty good run no? I imagine that with her for sale soon there wasnt really any risk in running her was there?

It's not so much the risk as it is the futility in running her in a spot she was proven to be nearly hopeless in.

She never should have run on synth after her races in 2007 against Nashoba's Key, but after the awful try she made early this year against Itangaroo, they should have sworn off that stuff forever.

I have no clue why she has been ridden the way she has the last two races.....I mean rated behind Bear Now, like she has a prayer to out finish Zenyatta? She needed to be the clear pace setter. It would not have matter but at least let her run.
