I've gotta give you props for spotting this filly Rupert. She is a very nice one.

knew that filly as a baby--first good runner from the mare--who as I'm sure you know is a half to holy bull...glad she won today.

This filly was Hip #64 at the Barrett's March sale. If you watch her work at the sale, you see that she didn't even start trying until the jock hit her halfway through the work. Right when the jock hit her, she really accelerated. She worked :10 1/5 and she wasn't even all-out the first part. She would have worked :9 4/5 or :10 if she would have been trying the whole time.

It's a shame they didn't have her cranked up first-time out. I bet her that day at 12-1. I could have made some real money that day if she would have won. I thought she was a cinch today but the price ended up being terrible. I'm lucky I bet with about 3 minutes to post while she was 6-5 or 7-5. I bet $750 to win on her thinking that I was going to get 7-5. If I would have know that I was only going to get $3.50 to win, I probably wouldn't have even bet her.

That had to be alot of inside money on her becuase you don't see horses go from 7-5 to 3-5 in the last 4 minutes very often.

Yeah, Rupert, I know. She was the Orientate filly with the blinkers on at the sale, and we talked about her and how nice and powerful her gallop was once before. She was one the ones you told me about.

She was one the ones you pointed out to me in addition to Hip #8 in the March sale. I still can't wait to see Big Red Tate if Allude is that nice. I think that he is just as nice as her if not nicer. Actually, I think that he is a nicer horse, not to take anything from Allude, because she is awesome and really showed it today.

The big question with Big Red Tate will be whether he has any problems breathing. As long as he can breathe he will be fine. As I told you, he scoped really bad.

God, I hope that he can breathe. I've gotten my hopes up on the horse, and it would be a shame if he couldn't get over that. If you hear anything else about him, let me know. So talented...

In regards to Allude not being fully cranked for her first start, she also looked pretty rank as well in the first half of the race, and you know what that can do to a horse.
