I'm pretty sure I only questioned why she was odds-on, not why she was favorite.

Her only competition was a bunch of 3yr olds who just ran like **** at Keeneland. Go back and look at the thread for the race though. I used Summer Soiree, I really liked her chances of rebounding in that spot and she did.

What about Unbridled Humor? She was facing similar horses as Never Retreat and holding her own. The fact of the matter is that Never Retreat had hardly separated herself from her division to warrant such low odds in a race of that calibur.

Never Retreat had a bad trip also. She was wide and got her legs under her way to late.

But she's a deserving odds-on favorite right? She holds such a superior position over the rest of the field that she should be able to handle a little 3-wide trip and still make a dent. She was no threat at any point.

You say she only beat a 3yr old at Keeneland? Your making no sense. Her only competition in Cali was a couple 3yr olds. Unless you liked Motions other horse. I did at first and backed off her, its all in the race thread.

Again, ignore Unbridled Humor to fit your argument. The point about her beating Together was that the Grade 1 at Keeneland proved the 3yo filly division was not too far behind the older mares, if at all.

Did I hijack it or did you? The thread was about the horse running again, trying to go out a winner after a long campaign. You came in with your own sorta redboard I guess, about her odds.

Actually, in addition to revisiting the Matriarch, I commented on the silliness of bringing her out for one more go 'round simply because she got beat at Hollywood.

At the very least, my comments were restricted to Never Retreat and not Uncle Mo or Facebook.

Thanks for playing.
