Would have paid less with a win by her too, but I just wanted Toni Knows to run.

As for Warrior Up, she had back figs good enough and was within 2-3 lengths of the major players on current form. Plus, as I've been saying since his eye-opening effort on Majestic Raffy, Wilmer Garcia is very good. That's as valuable a 7# as you'll see.

It is terrible that Toni Knows had to scratch. There are few things worse as an owner than to have your horse scratch AT THE GATE! As for the 5, I am all for looking back, but it has been over a year since this particular hose had run a competitive race.
