As much as I like this Chile filly, it's very premature to think she can beat Royal Delta in a fairly run race.

If Jeff Mullins had the Chile filly, maybe you could jump the gun.

What did you think about Royal Delta today? I mentioned that Royal Delta's last didn't impress me and I think she's continuing to go the other way.

Royal Delta's race will look fine on a sheet -- as Smith had her wide the whole way and she gave the winner 10lbs at 9 furlongs (abt 3.75 lengths in weight on Thoro-Graph and Ragozin)

It wasn't the good Royal Delta, though. Certainly not the one we've seen at Churchill Downs in the Ladies Classic or at Chuchill on the Foster undercard this year.

I do hope we get to see her on dirt at least.

I thought she looked like garbage. That's how I'll view her now. I'm not an excuse maker. She didn't run against much and she didn't run like much. Maybe she can do better on dirt but today was dreadful.

Don't you think she maybe lacked room when others were beginning to make their moves?

I thought she lacked ability when the others were running. No excuses.

She was in a little tight up the backstretch, but it looked like she had plenty of room when Gomez asked her. she just didn't have any run.

I actually think Richard's Kid might have made it a bit closer had he not had to stop a bit while the 10 was tiring in front of him, but the top two seem like the best two coming out.
