Stop what?

I'm not taking anything away from her, I'm just saying it'll be hard to continue to duplicate these performances throughout the rest of the year, especially in races like the Travers where there will be more quality to test her at certain parts of the race, after continual big effort after big effort. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying this.

Flashing must have really hit a wall in deep stretch.

The chart has her in front by 8 lengths at the 1/8th pole .. and finishing last by more than 30. I guess she needs a cut-back to a mile.

I agree. Drugs look at the early fractions, why Castellano was dueling with the 4 is beyond bizzare to me. His ride was a disgrace.

No, they didn't want it " souped up. " I imagine the two inches of rain we got Friday, in about 15 minutes, had something to do with that.

You really should know better.
