just curious as to why you think this is so far fetched andy? aside from the obvious that she's never run on the turf of course.

her work today looked pretty good, not sure if you caught it

Because the dirt race is far more prestigeous and Todd thinking of trying the turf for the first time, instead of the more important race, where she would hardly be a huge price, gives me the impression he has no confidence in her. Much like the lack of confidence he showed in Sidney's Candy when he ran him in the Fourstardave and likely devalued him.

She's got plenty of turf breeding, but you don't run her here unless you've pretty much given up on the dirt. It seems too early for that....but I trust Todd's opinion much more than most.

That's the only plausible explanation.

Ya - that's what they said on the track feed. I needed 6, but figured I had no chance after seeing the head-on.

I didn't see the whip, but I was watching replay on my office computer on a small screen where it is hard to see that kind of detail. Did the rider of the 7 strike the 6 horse in the face with the whip? Seemed like the 7 was forced into the 6 by the horse towards the rail, I think the 9.

Not very exciting wager-wise, but what a nice performance!

Royal Delta is getting slammed in doubles. Looks like she'll be the clear favorite.

Does this track play to her style? At around 8-5 I wont be pressing her anymore. It was one thing as the second choice, but not as the chalk.
