Nashoba's Key was a filly I never appreciated. Perhaps I am wrong, I never thought she was all that special if special at all.

On the surface the final time was good/ordinary but the track went from muddy to good later in the day, I think this is a case when you have to use your common sense to evaluate if a performance was good or wasn't.

I agree the race was very very impressive even if she beat vermin. Don't know the BSF but I would have to imagine its between a 104 and 108?

The rest of the Alabama field should be sent to barrier trials for eternity.

She ran her final quarter in about 25 4/5 and still drew off. None of the other runners ran under 27 for the last quarter. It was a good race, slightly above average, that was made to look much better than it was because of the level of competition.

It ended up being a 106, paired up with 103 from Delaware, she looks like the real deal.

She also went pretty darn quick early for that distance at Saratoga. She is the real deal.

She's just lucky a real star like Pine Island wasn't in there to grind her down.

Pine Island would have thrived on Poly.. BTW Fat Burger she was an ugly a mover as any.. She moved like a 1400 back loader.. Yet she ran down most..

by most ... I assume you mean Teammate.

I don't know if Pine Island's footwork was good enough to make her a top poly horse ... but if she had a well slept Alan Gracia riding her .. anything is possible.

I don't consider small parts of a race as having any meaning if they aren't viewed in context with the rest of the race.
