Looked from the replay like the rider hit her a couple times in the last 1/16th, when she's already running last. Ridiculous.

playa, better spot for her opening Saturday, alw/optional 1 mile I think..

She is fine, there is a couple stakes horses in that race right there and only finished about 15 lengths back, I wouldn't worry about it too much, it isn't like they are going to run her for 10k out of the box.

She will be a grass winner, she looked like she took to it....

well i scav i disagree, i think the 15k for straight3 @arlington is the way to go! im not trying to upset any1 at all here just stating my opinion! shes a young filly and you want her to have confidence, she also handled the poly so shed have a advantage over most of the horses here shipping over from hawthorne! i understand you guys paid more than 15k for her but trust me theres no shame at all in running her where she can be competitive and possibly win! also im sure many are worried about getting her claimed, as i said before i can basically guarantee nobody would touch her for 15k here in chicago right now. if she keeps running up over her head and getting it ripped off shell be sour, have no confidence, and maybe running nickel condition races before ya know it come the latter part of the year.


if she were mine(which of course shes not) id throw her right in where i said here and if she wins then rise her up. build her confidence which makes her happy and be competitive and win some races which will make you guys all alot happier! if ya like the grass that much for her, if she can win that 15k claimer here then maybe try the grass@ indiana downs for the a other than! obviously the horse comes first which ive referred to but also remember win lose or draw the bills keep coming every single day in this business...... straw, hay, feed, gallop help, farrier, vet, etc etc etc. again not trying to upset anyone just giving my opinion

Ohmygosh, that was so much FUN!

Granted, I was wandering around in a fog because I haven't slept since yesterday morning (and still haven't, back at work now), but still I do remember meeting Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Tony, Ed, Chris, John, and Bill.

Maybe another Steve?

And Chuck! Chuck rocks

I wish I could meet up with you guys every weekend Can't wait for her next race.
