Actually, the first one mentioned was Tizway.

Regardless, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Rail Trip and Morning Line hardly gave a their typical performance in the race. One went straight to a clinic in Kentucky, the other probably won't be heard from again until Aqueduct next winter or Hollywood Park next spring.

Blind Luck to pass Pacific Classic

Disappointed.

Same here but she has not been her best at Del Mar (not that she has been her best at Santa Anita either). I was hoping to see it but she has been all over the country again this year and I think if he says she needs the rest, she needs the rest. Wouldn't want to come up short again in Nov.

I would easily take her running next year over seeing her run against the boys in the Pacific Classic over a track that can sometimes yield random results.

Shame these 2 will not likely hook-up in the near future. The 2010 Alabama at Saratoga was a classic stretch duel and BL's move was all heart! I had the pleasure of being trackside for that one! Was hoping they would hook in the Personal Ensign....no joy!

I would say HDG did pretty well against Flat Out. Will they point her to the BC Classic (even though she might be better at 9 furlongs than 10 furlongs) -- it would make it a more entertaining race if she runs.

Zoe Cadman on HRTV thought she made it look alot easier than Rachel did a couple years ago.

Jesus christ.

Havre de Grace and Rachel Alexandra both ran very good races. It'd be nice if we could just enjoy both performances.

I talked to him earlier. He had her singled in all his horizontals.

Jerry Hollendorfer is teasing us again...

Blind Luck Nears Work; Beldame a Possibility

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.

[Clip-Clop]

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.

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.

[OldDog]

I'll be damned.



So ends the great rivalry.

[Danzig]

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.

She'll sell well. . . most likely to the Japanese.
