I've already made plans to go to Belmont that day. This would be the icing on the cake.

Of course, it probably won't happen.

Per Hollendorfer: “I’ll take a look at both races and see which one comes up easier.” If HDG is in the Beldame, there is no way it comes up easier than staying at Santa Anita.

She doesn't seem to like Santa Anita's new dirt surface. I'd send her east against a filly that she's beaten multiple times already.

It's changed a hundred times since she was a juvenile, but if there is one track Blind Luck tends to run subpar on it's Santa Anita. Only her Oak Leaf effort was anything to write home about.

She didn't care for the track in Spring, that is for sure. Taking that into account and her seeming to love travel, NY may be the best spot for her, HDG or not. They cannot be afraid of her alone, only real concern they might have would be a very short field though NY might juice it to get both and potentially some of the better 3yo fillies might be ready to come out and play.

Default to be Sold at Keeneland November

Does this mean she's done?

Blind Luck to be Sold at Keeneland November




ETA: Article updated with some additional info. She's to be sold at the Breeding Stock Sale, so I guess that's that.

just because she's being sold in the breeding stock sale doesn't mean she's thru. seems like it'd be up to the buyer...but one would assume most potential buyers would be buying her as a broodmare prospect.

Bad ass horse and I am a huge fan, but she is an ugly little thing. Have a hard time getting the fellas riled up for her.
