She clearly "belongs" at this level. Hopefully she'll find the winner's circle next time after this tremendous effort.
I don't have a problem losing her at $50K. The question is though do we drop her in for $30K next to get a win and take that risk? Personally I hope we try her at $50K again unless a perfect allowance comes up but I'm cool with whatever Chuck wants to do next.

Not my call, but I'd say no. She was way too sharp today at $50,000, she's got HUGE shot of winning at that level after today's effort. Plus, she could easily get claimed for $30,000, but you'll probably get to keep her if she's up for $50k.

She's only going to get better.

You don't drop this horse ONE BIT. there would be 100 claims in for her at 30k or even 40k. She ran lights out today and if Martinez could have milked that 2nd quarter a little more (46/3 was way too quick, 23 internal) she wins this race, she had PLENTY in the tank and was coming back at the 2. Honestly, my guess is she might be claimed if you run her back for 50k by a guy like Amoss. This had to be her best sheet number and there will be plenty of races for her at Arlington/Churchill coming up. Plenty of Allowance opt claiming at either. Plus I think Churchill has the free shuttle up to here to Arlington, which the competition is alot lighter, either way, she ran awesome today

i agree, i see no reason to drop down.
i know it's way too much to hope for, but i'll be in chicago in july--but the odds of her and i both being there the same week?! well.....

if there's any way possible, i'll be there for her next. kicking myself for not going up.

Yeah, some more options if we want to step up and take on elders. Looks to be as good an option as any. Still one condition higher than she's at though which is going to make it a very tough spot.

Actually it's a NW1XMC/NW2L, but still, the same condition is available on that Sunday for straight 3's.

You guys should've seen steve right before the race....

Well, to be fair, we were all a little keyed up.

Here's a couple possibilities at CD (assuming 3-4 weeks turnaround again):
straight 3's NW1X 5/25 @ a mile and a sixteenth (if you think 2 turns)
straight 3's NW2L 5/20 @ 7F *** This would be perfect, same condition as above but 3YO's only
straight 3's 50K 5/28 @ 6.5F
3&Up *the race you mentioned

You run her at 6.5 and she will get dusted. She has miler speed, not sprint speed

I think the 7 furlong allowance against 3yos is the best bet unless she can get two turns.

She wins today if Martinez's mental clock was working, 46/3 is ridiculous, especially with that 23 internal fraction, he is off his rocker.

the one HUGE benefit from today is that a better jock might want to ride next time with this performance. If we get Raffie, Mena, or Guid, picture is getting taken, they would have went 47/3 and had a stalking trip and shot the rail like the 2 and won for fun....

Dude, she was getting pressured. Once you commit to the lead, especially with a big, speedy filly like her, it's usually not a good idea to take her off of it just so you get a second quarter break.
