I think people are underestimating Smooth Air's pedigree for routes. . .

Seems like pace ought to mean something here and it looks to me like an awful lot of runners here are going to want the lead. Smooth Air and Z Humor look like stalkers that will wait for these front running types to spend themselves. Interesting that Coa jumps from the 1 to the 6.

Wow, the Endeavour was quite a race!
Nice performance by the two big horses.

Lear's Princess showed a ton of guts overcoming the sluggish pace at a distance probably less than ideal for her. She'll be okay this year.

2 for 2 at the distance over turf (obviously against cheaper) and 1 for 2 on dirt (a win in the Gazelle and a toss out race in the slop in the BC).

I think the pace hurt her more than the distance. Good race though, from both of them, coming off 4 months break. Would love to see them both stay healthy for the rest of the year.

Edit...she has never raced 1 1/16thon dirt. The other two races ( Gazelle and BC Distaff) I referred to were 1 1/8th in distance. My mistake.

I love how people bold things in responses to jib/jab. Just because a horse wins at a certain distance, doesn't mean it's their ideal distance. I think she's better going 9 furlongs or more.

Maybe you mistook my intentions or perhaps I should have phrased my response in the form of a question.
