I think Acoma is a giant mirage who has always needed a more than perfect trip to succeed. She's like the poor man's version of Rutherienne. NT |

His girl Inez is 10 losses in a row away from hitting that 10% mark, and that is with Douglas being gone for a month |

The number of threads on all of Derby Trail in which I have typed the word "Acoma" is exactly one. She is hardly one of my heart-based favorites. So the flip-side of that is that yes, I am capable of rational racing conversation outside of my "favorites." You're just still mad that it turns out Peyote Patty totally could've won that dreadful Isaac Murphy, aren't you? |

Personally I am interested in the Aga Khan's other - other filly last yr 'Katirya' if she comes over, though with any possible bet I may make, it really depends on the value and she is a pretty good horse so I am not sure if there will be any with her. |

She did break her maiden on the Poly at Keeneland, but she's a two-time Grade III winner on the dirt, and has won two Grade IIIs and a Grade II over the grass in three tries over the stuff. EDIT: Though to be fair and present all sides, she has been beaten over 30 lengths combined in her only two Grade I tries, both over the dirt. |

I wouldn't mind seeing her run back on the Poly again at this point in her career. After she wins the Beverly D., that is. |
