I saw that....

While the board owned filly was placed, on form, way over her head in the KEE race....she also had never run on turf, had a right to improve on turf from a pedigree standpoint, and the reality is that there are no N2L claiming races on turf that time of year...so, if you want to run her on the turf at that point, you have to do so in a very tough spot.

After her defeat, she was wisely placed, and ran a nice race.

As far as Teuflesberg goes, there are a lot of soft Grade 3-ish stake races for 3-year-olds, that carry VERY inflated purses---he'd be a lot better served in those races....than getting his butt kicked in Triple Crown series races.

And I'm sure everyone but Fearless Leader knows this---though, he may know this as well.
