Yeah, but it was a key race, so what did you expect.

not sure if you're joking around, but it could turn out to be a key race.
several of the others were flying along and looked sharp.

Bet the one horse when he runs on real dirt.

I honestly think predicting races will be key races is about as laughably a stupid concept as I have ever heard in racing.

Key races, by their very nature, can't be uncovered until horses run back. And, furthermore, a true key race is NOT ( necessarily ) one where two or more horses win their following starts.

But, hey, people should believe what they want to believe.

Supposed "key" races usually have a lot more to do with where the trainers spot the horses next out. I think these days, the only real edge is if you think a race is getting a speed figure that comes back lower than the horses are capable of running, for whatever reason.

Right, there are so many factors involved, and as usual, people oversimplify them, mostly because they're lazy, and miss out on what's really good ( while falling prey to what is bad ).

of course, did someone call it a key race beforehand?

They need to breed her back to Indian Charlie...

Or maybe even Saarland.

I realize you are probably being facetious, but to anyone with half a brain, it is completely obvious which parent Indian Blessing gets her ability from.

However.

I bet you they ship east with this horse, like they did with IB.

how would you have any idea in advance how he was going to run? only believe what you see and not trainerspeak or other forms of hype or misinformation.
