Thanks Steve. What did you think of his effort? I burnt some money on him earlier in the year, but he has always been on my radar, even if only because its a Baffert. Do you think he is the real deal? Did he beat much? Any plans on where to next, Saratoga likely? |

It's a respectable figure for a Gr 1 stakes winning 3yo filly. Blind Luck and Evening Jewel ran 94's in the KY Oaks.
I also think the Mother Goose was a race DMC can improve on going forward. |

Shadowbdancing won a 300K Grade 2 for older males with a 94.
Yeah - that was some field. |

I have a hard time believing that is the best those horses could do. The times seem consistent with the Derby and the Oaks, but this one just seems off. I may have to do some hand timing, especially considering this isn't a distance that has been run since the same race the year prior.

The winner went 6 Beyer points slower than American Lion did in the Ill Derby - and AL had to run straight into a heavy head wind for the extra 1/16th. His other win this year was at Fonner Park. Look at the horse who was 3rd in the race. Horrid. I think the clear cut favorite in the betting was beaten like 26 lengths at Lone Star in a stake last time out. The young chick who spams facebook with a combo of horse pics and quotes from things she says to her dog - she LOVED Brass Hat in the race... and he was like the 2nd choice even though he hasn't run on dirt in forever. Slew's Tizzy isn't total garbage - but he was off like a 2 year layoff. I don't know man ... I think anyone of the 3 different 3yo's from the 3yo male stakes would have had a good look in there. |

I agree, and using only speed figures I can see how a 94 would look reasonable. But, the pace was average at best and it is highly unlikely in my opinion the winner would only run a 94 with those moderate fractions.
It is a tough call, and the pathetic last race on the card doesn't make it any easier. |
