RTR Runs 2nd

#1 09-15-2007, 05:02 PM

Rags took a lot of early money, was 1-9 before the late money brought the no. 1 back to about the morning line.The race actually started w/ a slow fraction of 24 then they really started to step on it in the 2nd and 3rd. Dont really think they were pushing Rags all that hard, I had the exacta but would not want to be against her the next time out. Final time was pretty good, e.g. 1.47? Definitely a good return to the track dont not downgrade Rags for this.

Lear's Princess is underestimated. I think she can win the Distaff.

Her performances in the CCAO and the Alabama weren't terrible, but they were not exactly spectacular either. She has so few lifetime starts that she is certainly eligible to keep improving. She obviously took a big step forward today in a very professional score. The "story" of the race will be that Rags was short, but it was a nice effort by Lear's Princess. She seems like a pretty solid filly, and this year that might be enough to win the BC.

Talk about a horse who lost interest. The screws are not tight, nor should they be. Nice work out

she's had a couple set backs, fevers, a bad work and a nervous exercise rider led to a fine-tooth comb exam. she'll be fine.

Hard to train any horse for this type of race with all the setbacks she's endured lately...Not surpring but she should be primed for the BC - given any further issues....
