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
