She ran hard. Didn't get the easy lead that I thought she would get. The winner ran a huge race, 3 wide the whole way and dug in , in the stretch.

Hope she's alright. Didn't look good down the stretch.

The middle of the track has been the place to be. Maybe she caught a dead rail.

Never got to see the post parade on tvg but Sumwon really seemed on her toes and wasn't really loving the gate (???) - they opened the front and then kinda had a wrestling match - just not her usual self, but hafta admit she broke really well. Will wait to hear the others live paddock reports, but hoping she was just over the top from all the activities and ran outta gas - her tail was really swishing and glad Calvin kinda wrapped up on her a little to save it for another day - win or lose, she's still our #1 gal...

I Just Think She Would Go Better At 6 F. Borel, Ride At Least One Race Where You Dont Go To The Rail, Would You?

i'm thinking 7f. she seems to have a high cruising speed, just can't find that final passing gear.
great effort nonetheless, and chuck & team can't be praised enough w/ the job they have done.
i think her pedigree screams that she will be even better as she ages, so there's more fun ahead for her and the Dee Tee crew, no doubt.

I know many of us are a bit disappointed, but she's been in the money every time Chuck has spotted her for us. I agree she didn't seem happy with the tail swishing (noticed that too), glad the scope came back clean. The winner ran a huge race.

Our girl is worth every bit of the adrenaline surge, every time - on we go to next time!

I disagree. She gets out of the gate pretty well, but I think her strength is being able to continue a fast (but not quite sprinter-fast) pace through the second and third quarter and still (before Sunday's try at 9f) have something left for the stretch. From what I have seen from her, I think 8f-8.5f is where she will do her best running.

Thanks for the fun of watching a race knowing some of the connections....

(and I'm glad my California OTB isn't taking Saratoga wagers until the 3rd race!)

I've only watched the race once, but she looked like she never had a chance to relax enough to go the full distance today. First time I've seen her run though, so nothing in the past for comparison.

4th at Saratoga in August. That looks nice in the DRF, just the same.

When the two outside horses (cant remember but one jock to took the other way out) took wide and she got the lead so easy I thought we had it. No excuses. The race set up very well. We got beat very fairly.

We will get them next time.

The third quarter was soft enough for her on the front. Good run, but that distance is out of her reach.

yeah Bridge. was shaking her up mid-turn, i thought we had a shot to get away. I think the distance got to her 47:4 second quarter, would have been nice to see it a little slower.

We'll get there!!!!
