ILMAN: Weekend BSF's

I know they are basically meaningless and said as much..

I just thought 91 was weird looking.

I agree 100% with your assessment of DoA and the other mare. both are very good at doing what they can do.

Just out of curiosity, what figure do you think El Poppie deserves from Saturday?
He was the 20/1 winner of the $20K MSW run two races after the Endeavour (also at 8.5f on the turf).
His time was 1.5 seconds slower than Dreaming of Anna.

This is where a BSF can be mis-leading. If you get a chance, check out the replay of Eight Belles in the Martha Washingtong at OP. One of the most impressive sweeps around the turn I've ever seen. Might have been a bad field, but her last victory at FG was just as impressive and she got a 100 BSF. I think she's better than the Baffert filly - Indian Blessing. Larry Jones looking good with his girls.

Many turf races are run with pokey pace fractions anyway, never liked turf beyers as horses basically run 1/4 mile sprints. I prefer to look at who the horses are running against and their trips - good/bad.
