More questions than answers with this choice in placement. The horse is a proven world beater on dirt, comes off a two month layoff directly to a surface she's never raced over before, by a trainer that clearly hasn't had any success with (0-17). AND entered for a tag....Just isn't adding up -

I agree, but that may have scared me into putting her on my ticket. Obviously they picked this spot thinking nobody would drop a slip, with questions like the ones you presented. I know I would want to watch this race, not drop a slip here. Where if she was on dirt, you know there might be a shake at this price.

Wow, the #3 got up to get by Zippy Shannon.

Yeah, she looked great. The 3 had all kind of run. the first time I've seen a Running Stag filly win in NY in a while...I usually stay away from those, glad I got tied up and didn't get my late P3 in - I don't think I would have added her at 11-1.....

I thought the 6f would be too short for her style. Guess I was wrong...
