I hoped for better. She had a promising start to her career.

"I don't wanna, and you can't make me." Hope it's something that can be corrected. Sad to watch.

Just off with Gary who was none too pleased with Chucky. Lopez told him that when he didn't make the lead he decided to 'save her'. Never asked her to run. LOL. You can't make it up with these guys. The good news is that she scoped clean and didn't cut herself.

She's bred for grass on the dam side and as has been discussed, will be on the agenda come spring.

I would never question how these horses are managed but she seems to me to be in over her head. Even her best effort wasn't beating this field today. She may just need a drop into the claiming ranks to get her confidence back.

Thanks again to Steve, Chuck, and Gary. Even bad days like this are still exciting as an "owner"...

When the racing office starts putting on the appropriate state-bred conditional claiming races ($25k/N2L) later in the winter/early spring, she'll likely run in them. They aren't running them yet so it's hard to place her in anything other than these ALW's. She earned $2,000+ in the two previous starts, and it helps. And as a reminder, she was beaten 3.5 lengths for 2nd-4th in this same race 4 weeks ago. Lopez chose not to ride her at all today for reasons known only to him.

I love folks who say "I would Never" and then proceed to do it in the same sentence. Sorry it just is a pet peeve.

Never forget her win in Saratoga. Made some good money that day. Love to see her at the Spa again on the Grass this year.
