Of the four horses in the crazy breakaway speed duel, Read The Reserach was the second one to run back so far. Classic Point ($13.20) was the other.

However, Sister State has been entered in Saturday's Grade 1 Mother Goose off of her last-out Beyer figure of 33 -- when she set the pace in the breakaway duel.

Might have got a little price on Sister State in an N1X alw race ... but obviously she's no chance against Dreaming of Julia and Close Hatches.

Doing the work I have the past few weeks there is indeed key races but I am finding they are more tied to the pace dynamics than the talent dynamics, and for every key pace horse (either compromised front end or back end of the race) there are negative key horses to play against..........its amazing how consistent it is.
