Richwood Silver was nw3 against a horse that has one like 5 races or something.....
Wasn't Rojo Sol sitting like 3rd too?? She was no farther then four lengths off

It's not that I don't think it's a speed-favoring course, it's just that I haven't lost all my marbles when they split the turf course. Every time they do it, you blindly play against horses for bad reasons (ie, playing against a Calabrese on principal over a course that favors her style on a lawn she obviously loves on a day with big pools, just to play against them as the favorite), lose, then you either pretend they didn't announce it (and that's totally true, since you did it last year, and again when I ran into you on Million Day this year) or you blame the course entirely -- when Romocaca fit the bill for that race perfectly, inner turf course or no, it's not like outside Keertana, the Midwest sophomore turf fillies are really lighting things up.
Point being, bringing it back to the Lassie, that sure Tiz Miz Sue could win and looks like one of the more likely ones, but when you say things like "stop it with Deceptive Glory/She Be Wild/Still undefeated at the meet Peyote Patty," like they're irrational things to think, it's all just pure nonsense and often enough the horses go out and pull a stunt like Romocaca did, and then you're stuck backpedaling for excuses (see first paragraph).
That's all.
PS, advance warning, you may want to pay attention to which races are run where on Monday. Ahead of time, I mean, instead of after the fact.
