1 Alnadana (IRE) Soumillon C 123

I find it interesting the Jock would come overseas to ride essentially what is a Gr 3 filly in Europe in the Bev D, ya think he like his chances. I also find Points of Grace abit interesting though that maybe abit of a pipe dream.

I didn't realize they ran Group 3's in Europe for $750K.

I understand what he is saying and it makes sense.

She won't be anywhere near her ML, she is all the talk around here right now

I don't really understand the argument. Obviously Soumillon is going to come over to ride in a race like the Beverly D. if he thinks the horse has any kind of shot. You don't really need to consider who's riding the horse to realize she's a contender, so who cares? Plus she's 4-1.

Really I will have to go back and take a look, the names she is racing against are not too familiar though I am not as efficient as Miss Stormcat is, regardless these are the same Zarkava connections and we've seen gr. 3 horses over there come here and be more than competitive in the past, they probably want a gr 1 success and the Bev D they probably thought was their best chance, there are no Stacelita's in here.

Dynaforce is dangerous... Watch her last 2 trips, both wide with no cover.

That Aga Khan horse doesn't look impressive to me! Her races aren't much, but Ill be reading the form on the flight over and I'm sure I'll have a reason to like her by the time I arrive!! Any guesses on what Mad About You will be sent off at? I think she'll love the States!

conservatively 3-1 7-2, but hopefully more. She is strong and there are many scenarios that fit her. Lets say Tizqueena goes out to a clear lead, your gal can outmove Points of Grace and hold off the closers. She is probably even good enough to just attack the leader slightly prematurely and end the race early. If Points of Grace and Dominguez manage to break on top, Tizqueena may be forced up on the pace and again it sets up nicely.

LOLZ.

Unless we magically time warp back to 2008 halfway down the backstretch, she'll be lucky to finish 4th. Wide trip is not exactly an excuse in the Modesty....considering it produced the easiest winner of the Preview races.

Agree 100% on Dynaforce. She's just not much horse, regardless of trip. The fact that she's a G1 winner is amazing.

I realize she has sucked, but even with Mott/Kent she will still be a price. I think she is worth using in the pick 3, to me it's a spread race.

Her, along with Presious Passion, won't see a single one of my tickets.
