Excuses for your pick - the Marty Wolfson horse who got the trip of a lifetime off of a mind-boggling pace battle and still couldn't hit the board?

That's the female Ice Box. She needs everything to collapse to win a race.

Yeah, I had the right idea but I went against my own wisdom of betting Wolfson horses away from Florida. Atleast I put my money inline with my opinions, I thought they were overbet and overrated and I should have bet the all button to win other than the 2 favs, that was my mistake. What can I say, I didn't think the Phipps horse could jump up that much, but I did give her a 2nd look and I still couldn't make a case for her.

She has none of the accelleration she used to have. It wasn't the 10f that got her beat. It's that she's taken a couple of steps back. If this race had been 9f, she might have won it but it wouldn't have been anything like what we saw from her last year. Running like this, she wouldn't win the Distaff. She's a shadow of her former self. They went 1:12.02 and 1:37.54 That's hardly suicidal. Even going that slow, she had nothing left. The final was 2:04.49 so it took her over 27 seconds for her final quarter. They actually made Afleet Express look like he was flying.
