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?
Thought it was OK... Have to watch it again.

Baffert on Concord Point's next steps tomorrow morning at 10:30a on ATR.

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.

Does this mean that the Lawyer Ron elixir is back?

Seriously, she won impressively but how in the world does she get a better trip?

Perfect trip in the Bonnie Miss. Perfect trip Saturday. Does she have an 'against the grain' effort in her?

Yes, the Frizette. She made a premature move in a collapsing pace and still won.

She was inside the 2nd horse and got the jump on her as that one got stuck behind horses and took a while to change leads in the lane. I don't think that move was premature and she certainly got a better trip than the runner up. The same way she got a better trip than Biofuel.

When she tried to make a genuine against the grain run in the Silverbulletday, she got gutted.

I don't agree.

The Silverbulletday is clearly a throwout.

Wont a horse with her style pull a perfect trip more times then not? Especially with a guy like JV who does not know where the rail is, the clear, close range stalking trip is what she is likely to pull.

That's very true. But there's a difference between having the speed/ability to sit behind the pacesetter and then be able to hold off the closers and what happened in the Mother Goose or the Bonnie Miss.

Consider for a moment what happens if Biofuel doesn't break bad and then isn't asked on the turn.

Im trying to understand but not seeing it. I think DMC is much better then Biofuel, and actually wants to go longer so I dont see Biofuel making up the ground on her at Saratoga "CCOA, Alabama"
