If so, he should be ashamed. Beautiful Pleasure, as a 2YO, would have lapped this horse.
Wow, if that's the case then it's just stupid. Dancinginherdreams is a nice horse but as of now she's all hype. Those crows she beat in Kentucky are worthless and even though her trip was not ideal today the horse she lost to could be in for a tag by August.

As of now her 3YO filly competition isn't too strong, and she can improve, but I don't buy the hype. She had the whole stretch to run down the winner, who was involved in a pretty contentious pace, and barely gained in the final sixteenth.

Doesnt that indirectly suggest that Dailed In was very good?

You might already know - but the raw pace fractions are very slow at GP going one-mile because of the run-up.

The Forward Gal pace was very strong - but the relationship between the two sets of fractions is a lot different than it is as most tracks.

Still - of course Dialed In ran another very good one.

What is the BSF going to be for Machen's allowance workout? It was the slowest of the 3 races contested at that distance.

Not sure - but the other horses in that field lived in the low to mid 60's range.

Without doing one second of work - and even looking at the other times and races - probably about a 75 because he only won by 5 lengths.

I love Tapit, so I like the filly, but the raves about her (like she's a Derby filly or she's a given to win the Oaks) were kind of through the roof.

The 3YO fillies on the east coast are awful and that will certainly help. I was thrilled to hear Royal Delta is fine and back in training because her one maiden race was more impressive than any race Dancinginherdreams has run.
