It was Ron Ellis, and I'm guessing that the HRTV people thought the work was over at the wire, and it ended either a half or full furlong after.

For what it is worth, Ellis just said it was the best work that he has seen of her, and that he watched most of them throughout her career.

Everything she does is the best thing she's ever done ever. Wake me up when someone from California says anything negative about her once.

Ellis is realistic though, but I understand your opinion.

So she came home in 23 1/5 but had trouble getting by the horse who jumped into the work at the quarter pole (they went to the next pole past the finish) and that was not good enough?

Tough crowd.

She might win or lose but that work won't have a anything to do with it.

I'm from California, originally.

I'll say something negative about her. Her fans are complete idiots. Her connections are full of shitt.

SUNDAY 10/31

Quality Road went an efficient half in :48.3 in company with Aikenite. Turned in splits of :12, :24.1, :36 and out in 1:02.

Robby Albarado spins an easy :50 half on Acoma for Davey Carroll.. Spinster winner has looked very good and spirited daily coming into her career finale in the Distaff..

Acoma is super talented and was always a favorite of mine, but I cant cover her in this spot. I read her last race was her last career start, she had to be primed to fire huge.... Now it seems like she is rushed to get to the BC and it never appeared to be part of the plan.

Just saw AZ Warrior work - looked very good and the Works folks were impressed.

Stay Thirsty and Uncle Mo both looked fine. According to the Works, Pletcher said they went slightly slower than he wanted, but it was the "right kind of slow" (not sure what that means)
