Don't like her at all. Think she is much better with give in the ground and it is as firm as firm gets right now here in Chicago. Also think she has caught some questionable fields in the past.

We'll see

No doubt she is a very good horse but these f'n jocks are just retarded. Let a Grade 1 filly barely get out of gallop the first 8 furlongs.

Let me also say that I am pretty happy that she won today because I won't play her next time if he ships her back to California and trains her there. If she stays here she will be pretty tough in the Bev D

Albarado doesn't show up for a 200k stakes or the 150k stakes and the public is betting this horse. God help them.

Hard to believe Mint Chip is 11:1 and the 7 is 7:5.

Who the hell was going to go with her on paper? The race played out like it figured to. You said yourself the course was "as firm as firm gets" and you let yourself get beat by a lone speed frontrunner in a six-horse field? They're definitely going to the Beverly D BTW.

I know they are definetly going, and I didn't get beat by her (notice post above that said (only two horses that can win are her and Rainbow View). I got beat by Workin for Hops. I said that I would be betting against her if they took her back to California and then shipped back here. I don't like when horses ship back and forth via plane. If they would keep her here, she would probably be lock city depending on who comes over from Europe.

Tuscan Evening was too tough today, no excuses for Hot Cha Cha, thought 7/2 was fair but when you leave a quality animal alone on the front like that, you may as well gift wrap and hand it to her before the gates open.
