The difference between a two-turn mile-and-a-sixteenth race and a two-turn mile race is negligible, so it's not like it was some drastic cutback.

Just think a turf sprint is worth a shot if the right spot comes up.

my thinking is that the route distance has dulled her speed and her work out times are on the slow side. Was it 1:03 or 1:05 5f. That doesn't give me a ton of confidence she will fire going 5 1/2.

I guess shortening her up may put speed back in and improve her late kick.

She wasn't interested in running last time out. She didn't care where the wire was.

That's the one thing that would concern me about going 5 1/2. If there were seven-furlong one-turn turf sprints, I'd say go there, but unless we go to Belmont, it'd be 5 or 5 1/2.

I saw KNS this morning in her nice big stall at Keeneland, she looks fine :-)

TC said hello to everyone. Said he liked the Dee Tee folks he met in Tampa - apparently you guys are some kind of fun "They show up, and they are all in the paddock, smiling; and they lose, and they are STILL smiling!"

Wow, not sure I needed to read this post right after the Carolina loss. As one who was in attendence for 3 of the 4 KnS starts including this past Tuesday, were we disappointed with the last race results? Sure. Is a class drop in order? Probably so. Will the race results keep me and the others partners from smiling and having a great time? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

The partners who I have had the pleasure of meeting are all greatly appreciative of the opportunity that Chuck and Steve have provided us. If smiling and having a great time is crazy then I need to be committed.
