Or both.

I couldn’t believe he asked out of the gate, but hes a horrendous rider so...

Not sure if that was his idea or McPeek’s but it was dumb. Not really sure what he was doing up the backstretch but I’m not sure it mattered. She was bad today

So much how I drew it up
Track letruska or seize the lead and let them catch you
Monomy has run a 1 1/16 in 145 and no better you rock 142
Catch me

No doubt. I think they got a little overzealous after she romped in what amounted to a non-winners of 2 "other than" allowance at Santa Anita last month.

Just because it says "Grade 1" doesn't mean you have to believe it...

To be honest, I figured that was exactly why they went to Santa Anita in the first place...

All is not lost though, since there is still Royal Ascot on the horizon...
