Melhor Ainda romp to be held in 15 minutes @ BEL

[DerbyCat]

You wouldn't think Sis City had a shot here unless you saw the current odds of 5-1... who knows something that we don't???

[Gander]

Could be just one person like a month ago in the Colonial Downs race. That person who burned all that money on Lewis Michael. Made the odds of everyone else go way up including Kip De Ville, who would have been more like 8/1 and Showing Up who probably would have been more like 3/2.

Dont fall for it.

i don't know, turf is rated good...we'll see. she's got a pedigree biased toward the Bold Ruler influence for you Slew fans out there...and that's w/o any Native Dancer/Mr Prospector etc.

How did they let her go off at that price? That was the easiest $60 worth of Friday night fun money ever won.

[sumitas]

geesh, the surface just sapped Sis City, had little left in the stretch.

Not bad, considering she wasn't fully cranked, but I dunno, I wasn't as blown away as I thought I'd be, and this is coming from one of Melhor Ainda's biggest supporters in the world.

Very workmanlike. Not the devastating kick I saw at three. Maybe this will turn out to be even more effective, but it's not as fun to watch.

Ateam.....there was no pace. You must have pace for closers to have a visually impressive performance. I think it was a great ride and showed her class in that she won without the ideal setup.

I understand, but she's run in races without pace and shown a bigger burst at the end (Sands Point, Miss Grillo, etc.)

I dunno, maybe I'm just a worry wart, but I'm anxious to see how far the princess moves forward off this.
