Yea, like it might seem incongruous for Nick Heinz to name quintuplets

1)Aga
2)Pito
3)Delga
4)Dillo

(but it wouldn't shock me.)

I'd use Sara Louise, Any Limit, Thunders Dove, and hope for another dull one from Indian. Baffert says she's ready though. In other words, I hate this race.

Why hate it? Im using her and only her. Hoping SL bounces.... I think Baffert has to have her ready to run a top race and even if SL fires, Indians best should be good enough.

I just love how the connections of IB said she was training better than ever for the Ballerina at SAR, then after a defeat out come the excuses of walking for two weeks, missing some breezes and a sore foot. Would have been nice knowing forehand. Anyway, she is topclass at Bel on a fast track. Look forward to a great race..

You missed the part where she was "training better than ever, besides the bad foot, the 2 weeks of walking, the missed breezes, etc.."

The real Indian Blessing is a terrific race horse. I heard Baffert on TVG he seemed genuine about her current condition. What confused me was his decision to even run at Saratoga. I guess he thought it wouldn't hurt her to go even if she wasn't 100%??? I never get the concept of running a champion at less then 100% but whatever. I am rooting for her she is one of the better sprint type gals we have seen in a while.

I like running them when a race comes up that fits them. If they aren't physically healthy, then don't run them but if it's just a conditioning issue, run them. If you wait til they are 100% everytime to run them, they end up running 2-3 times a year.

That was a fun race to watch. The champ was tenacious in the lane. The up and comer gave her all she had. Fun race.

Well, sure, her best is good enough. She ain't been anywhere near her best. Since Dubai she's not showing the fast middle she should be showing. She loves a wet track, but couldn't get separation. That's just not right,k? You look at that race in June. That's definitely not right. If she was showing her fast mid-race stuff, and getting a lil late, then I'd feel better about her. If it was any other trainer in the country, then I would not touch her tomorrow. Since it's Baffert, I've gotta show some respect, and leave the race alone. This guy usually bounces back after one bad performance (not two.) She should of had separation on Music Note coming into the stretch. She loves slop. She got an easy first quarter. Should of drawn off by a couple lengths on the turn. She couldn't. She's the class. She has the best sprint trainer in the business. He says don't bet against her. That's the only reason I am not betting against her.
