I was absolutely sure that Ballerina Belle was rolling right to the front ... and thought it was going to be a three or four length win. As soon as she comes level to the front runner watch her virtually pull herself up and the stride shortened. If I was training Ballerina Belle, I would put her on the lead at any cost in her next start (5.5f T at Saratoga or 6f T at Belmont). Also, I would take the blinkers off since those cups might be taking horses out of her view.
