Really I will have to go back and take a look, the names she is racing against are not too familiar though I am not as efficient as Miss Stormcat is, regardless these are the same Zarkava connections and we've seen gr. 3 horses over there come here and be more than competitive in the past, they probably want a gr 1 success and the Bev D they probably thought was their best chance, there are no Stacelita's in here.

Dynaforce is dangerous... Watch her last 2 trips, both wide with no cover.

That Aga Khan horse doesn't look impressive to me! Her races aren't much, but Ill be reading the form on the flight over and I'm sure I'll have a reason to like her by the time I arrive!! Any guesses on what Mad About You will be sent off at? I think she'll love the States!

conservatively 3-1 7-2, but hopefully more. She is strong and there are many scenarios that fit her. Lets say Tizqueena goes out to a clear lead, your gal can outmove Points of Grace and hold off the closers. She is probably even good enough to just attack the leader slightly prematurely and end the race early. If Points of Grace and Dominguez manage to break on top, Tizqueena may be forced up on the pace and again it sets up nicely.

I don't see Ramon putting Points of Grace right on the lead, but maybe the connections will instruct him to do so because she ran so big last time.

I thought jockeys don't matter?

i knew that trip would get there(especially seeing races 6 and 7 to gauge the turf), unfortunately wrong mare. Tough trip for Mad About You but she wasn't best today anyway.

I think there's a new horse in the race for Horse of the Year as well.

Unless we magically time warp back to 2008 halfway down the backstretch, she'll be lucky to finish 4th. Wide trip is not exactly an excuse in the Modesty....considering it produced the easiest winner of the Preview races.

Agree 100% on Dynaforce. She's just not much horse, regardless of trip. The fact that she's a G1 winner is amazing.

I realize she has sucked, but even with Mott/Kent she will still be a price. I think she is worth using in the pick 3, to me it's a spread race.

I posted my tickets in Saturday play along, I leaned on her and one of the euros, then spread on backups.
The soft course also helps Dynaforce.
