Yea, but after seeing the 6th, speed does not appear to be holding as the 4 & 6 had every chance with slow fractions.

Still may but a little bit on her.

Actually, given the way speed absolutely didn't hold on yesterday's turf (as expected), and the fact that they went 1-2 until very late in the 6th, it doesn't seem that speed is at a pronounced disadvantage today. The courses are clearly in a state of transition.

I am not sure if this horse is bred for turf. Looks like the the trainer is going for the Turf to Dirt angle next out. I am going to put this one on the watch list for next time. I will sit out on this one this time.
