Actually, the first one mentioned was Tizway.

Regardless, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Rail Trip and Morning Line hardly gave a their typical performance in the race. One went straight to a clinic in Kentucky, the other probably won't be heard from again until Aqueduct next winter or Hollywood Park next spring.

Blind Luck to pass Pacific Classic

Disappointed.

I would easily take her running next year over seeing her run against the boys in the Pacific Classic over a track that can sometimes yield random results.
