agree, but boca grande is a graded stakes winner, with a big time pedigree

$500K purchase by Team Valor, trained by Romans. Broke her maiden July 8th at Churchill and then entered the Adirondack where she scratched.

Sounds familiar. Thanks.

Team Valor currently owns her? I'll be rooting against.

[POINTGIVEN1985]

these are all fillys with lots of potential, but boca grande is already proven i can see her having a better year then pine island did last year

I like Boca Grande as well but she hasn't exactly " proven " a great deal. She won the Demoiselle, which completely collapsed, against a pretty fair group and earned a decent but hardly spectacular figure.

She may have a good year, and I hope she does, but there are other fillies that are as fast if not faster.

As far as I know. I've been following a few of the Jump Starts which is why I've been following her. The Team Valor part is definitely not a positive.

I don't anything about Team Valor except they have had some good horses.

Tell me again

what is the knock against them?

I know it is fun to root against 'the rich guys' or the 'guys with all the good horses' - I do it myself - but I still remember when Barry Irwin was my first editor (at the CTBA magazine), skinny, and driving a VW (was it a Civic? Cheap, economical car). He parlayed his knowledge of horses and betting into an empire and I can't fault him for that. However I have to admit that Jeff Siegel annoys the heck out of me on HRTV.

I don't root against " rich guys " and certainly Team Valor doesn't have " all the good horse "...or even any good horses.....but I do root against hypocrats who tell others about how to deal with the drug issue while employing virtually every suspended drug violator in the game.

Having said that, while I have no idea how this particular horse is doing now, that was sure a loaded maiden field she beat at Churchill last Spring.
