Misty For Me's race was the most frustrating one of the day for me. Not only did she have the bad start, but a rank Aruna to her outside was bothering her in the early part of the race and she just didn't look comfortable at that point. I was sorta shocked that she put in such a nice late run after she was taken out of her usual game of being prominent early.

It appeared to me as though the load was rushed - they had that thing over her ass that calms them down (don't know what the hell its called). The idea from what I understand is that a rope attached to it is supposed to be attached to the back of the gate so when the front opens it just slides off....well - the rope didn't look like it was secured at all (like it was laying over top the back of the gate, as if they were waiting for the horse to settle) and when the front opened it must have slid off to the side causing her to go to her knees.

Aruna's Spinster was a gift - didn't care for her at all - in fact the 3rd place horse in the Ladies Classic was beaten by her by only a half a length in that race, yet Trackus had her traveling 32 feet further Aruna (talking about Pacattack, or whatevah her name is)


Good Luck tomorrow

I thought the same thing.

Misty for Me's trip will haunt me until next BC if I don't rally tomorrow. If she breaks cleanly she devours that field and makes my day. Sigh.
