Rosanara - GISW next out

Obviously all the horses from the Prix Saint Alary are big time. Sarafina's a two-time GISW and was third in the Arc.

Probably moot now that she'll be 2-1.
With this sterling resume, why did Motion place her so mundanely 1st/NA? Wonder why he didn't try her in the Riskaverse 4 days earlier?

(I'm going to look and see if she was AE in one of the divisions. No.. She wasn't.)

Motion isn't exactly Leon Blu when it comes to spotting horses. The Niarchos family isn't going to look to cash in on her or anything, so no reason to rush with her. I'd think they're bringing her along slowly and think highly of her - maybe regret tossing her in the deep end over there.

Suppose the fact that they went for a 3yo only spot says they want some black type before the soph season slips away too...
