Is it possible that she might have been a little rank?

No because he let her run a little. You know when you notice horses are rank? When the riders are in their mouths. If he had grabbed ahold of her like freddy he would complain about strangling her.

You don't have to grab anything this filly has proven she is capable of rating. The ride was ridiculous, you will hear this from every single intelligent and respected handicapper in the industry PERIOD.

I dont care what any handicapper says, horses arent the same everytime they step on the track. Is it possible to read into Jacksons comments that she was a little tired coming into the race and possibly Assmussen went a little lighter on her than usual which can lead to horses being too keyed up on race day? They arent machines, there is no brakes and a free running horse like she is is better going fast than being strangled.

So now we need to GUESS about how she felt today..Ok Dr Doolittle..The Jock gave her head because he knew that was the only way she could win.. Borel please it was a complete bone head ride. Scav would have won by 3 on her..And likes to be ridden

Did you not see her before the race? How do you know he wasnt told to go to the front? Assmussen is an expert instruction giver. He was a jockey you know?

Ok now I am to believe that Assmussen didn't read the program and recognize the Bullet work on Ta Dara or his role in the race.. So now one on the most successful trainers in land told Borel go hook DaTara wide because Rachel is a little tired eventhough Terry has been in print that she is fresher then ever..Where did you buy these beans the same place that Jack bought his?

Interesting technique.

The ride was never going to be easy today.

I'm just happy Jess Jackson bought her and we were able to enjoy a race like the one today.
