it looked like it took a lot more effort then usual to get her rolling down the lane this time.
I would be fine if the owners put this horse in SA Derby for the right reasons, unfortunately i think ivarone yet again wants the spot light and is trying to make up for winter he spent w/no cameras in his face. You're right, there aren't gonna be any world beaters in the SA derby prob, but IMO he was probably setting her up for this race regardless of what she did sat.
