I can't speak for Andy -- but I think it had much less to do with her having "one off race," and much more to do with the fact that her several "on" races were incredibly unsinspiring and go a long way towards making her a big toss tomorrow.

Ummm I don't know about you but her Go For Wand victory was VERY VERY impressive

and her Ruffian win was very solid.

But I don't know how you can claim that her Go For Wand victory was uninspriring.

I assume you will be holding Teammate in highest regard tomorrow afternoon.

Sorry if I'm not that impressed with her running off with wins over Teammate and Miss Shop in one race, and then.....Teammate and Miss Shop in her next race.

Stalking Teammate on the lead at Saratoga and pulling away from her in the stretch doesn't get my pulse racing.

And stalking Take D'Tour when she's running guns blazing on the front end, taking over when she tires, and then fending off....Teammate and Miss Shop isn't really what I'm looking for in trying to find a BC winner.

You were right, I'll give you that.

And I owe you a wee bit for helping on my cashing my only ticket of the whole day. When I went home Friday night, I was looking through my TG sheets and got scared by her numbers, but still didn't really like her. I tossed her in at the last minute on a pick-3 starting on that leg (though I really liked Hystericalady), and it ended up being the only wager I cashed on the entire day.

Good call.

thanks man maybe it was because I was at Saratoga that day but the way she ran just totally floored me and thought she was something special.

Good job on cashing the ticket
