Cmon, Wait A While of her top form last year would have had no problem accelerating depite the pace, she got opened up on when the running started, she is clearly not the same filly and headed for retirement no doubt.

Nice ride by Castro tho. Not that great of a race but good to see a jock actually riding nice.

Prado also nice ride in race before

The experiment on Polytrack last time may still have effects on her...you are right, not the same filly we saw last year!

Ya can't go that slow early and expect to make any thing up. Just my 2 pennies worth.

She was a length behind just before the stretch and then 4 behind, how did that happen? That had nothing to do with the pace of the race.

From what little I know, if a horse is strangled early, it wastes a lot of energy later.
you might be right that something is wrong with her, but I don't think so.
The jockeys were playing a game early. Neither wanted the lead.
Choke, choke, choke.

I'm not arguing with you.
Heck, each race sets up a little bit differently, despite similarities.
Giving My Typhoon the lead after going that slow early doesn't bode well for catching her.
From my experience being around 'em, horses are different from day to day.
I sure hope nothing is wrong with Wait a While. I've always liked her.
Maybe today she just didn't fire.

i know, just discussing the race....I dont think its a big deal that Wait A While was beat because My Typhoon is solid and she did get a good setup, its the way she was beat that would be big concern if you ask me.
