Wow.

Wow.

I am floored that anyone can think that Godolphin is making a sensible decision with Music Note.

This is absolutely retarded.

First of all people, Indian Blessing is not even close to the same horse she was a year ago. I would not be surprised if she is soon retired.

Second of all, Informed Decision is miles better over synthetic than she is on dirt. Yeah yeah, she won at CD on derby day, I know.

A healthy Informed Decision and Ventura will easily beat Music Note going 7 on synthetic.

How the hell can anyone think she beat a quality field Saturday, and even worse, to say she's clearly a superior sprinter off of one start against a really bad field of 'g1' DIRT sprinters, it's just nuts!

She certainly showed a fairly high cruise speed. She ran a lot better then I thought she would BUT I think Bin Laden is in charge of the D Barn at Saratoga this year.. I wonder how Wolfson got his merch thru.. Maybe he was wearing a kofi.. KIDDING

they have to run her somewhere-and does anyone really think she can battle zenyatta to a better finish then she had a year ago? the sprint might not be a great choice, but i guess they feel they have a better shot at a win there then in the distaff.

Isnt Zen going to the classic

I would think MN is better suited for an awful rendition of the classic than she is the filly sprint. Unless, of course, Zen shows up in either the Classic or filly sprint.

i would be beyond amazed if zenyatta showed up in the classic. hell, i can see why they'd want to run music note there and use seventh street in the distaff. they're deep on fillies, and music note showed a new dimension. i don't see the big deal.

What did she show? That she could beat two off-form (IB is toast and ID was on the wrong surface) fillies that when on their games would trounce her? And beat a couple of badly out matched other ones?

she showed she could sprint-so now, instead of multiple entrants in the distaff, they have a horse for the sprint. i doubt she'd win either one-but i can see why they're trying.

Again, sprinting against nothing proves nothing.

By that logic, a horse that works in 112 can sprint.
