Did everyone forget about this race?

Careless Jewel wins - of course.

Horrendous calendar placement... talk about a race lost in the shuffle.

I think its more of a case of horrendous purse distribution. This race has always been used as a nice "easy" race for some big time filly (eg Sachauista, Jostle, Ashado, etc) on its way to the BC, but in the last couple of years they amped the purse up to ridiculous proportions I assume to make it a significant race on its own.

Not sure its working.

It's always interesting to see how a horse runs after a big effort, if there was a question is she for real after The Alabama, there definitely shouldn't be one after yesterday. Pretty convincing win.
