The second fastest came in an allowance at Belmont Park on May 26th (116 on the 100 point scale) Sister State ran an opening quarter of 22.34 in the one-turn mile and finished dead last of 8, beaten 22.5 lengths at 7/2 odds.

Read The Research pressed that 22.34 first quarter from only a half length back, and finished 7th beaten 17 lengths as the 2/1 favorite.
Read The Reserach ($6.70) won her next start, at Belmont today.

Of the four horses in the crazy breakaway speed duel, Read The Reserach was the second one to run back so far. Classic Point ($13.20) was the other.

However, Sister State has been entered in Saturday's Grade 1 Mother Goose off of her last-out Beyer figure of 33 -- when she set the pace in the breakaway duel.

Might have got a little price on Sister State in an N1X alw race ... but obviously she's no chance against Dreaming of Julia and Close Hatches.

Doing the work I have the past few weeks there is indeed key races but I am finding they are more tied to the pace dynamics than the talent dynamics, and for every key pace horse (either compromised front end or back end of the race) there are negative key horses to play against..........its amazing how consistent it is.

What I found interesting was how Read The Research did it today, she broke sharply with Lezcano then he actually took her back (or the others just outgunned her) then stalked and pounced at the top of the stretch and held off anyone else. Totally different running style..........but effective.

Finished second to Classic Point last Friday, and then lost a four-way shake after putting a claim in on Read the Research yesterday.

I am going to play Coach Bob in the 7th tomorrow at HP. He ran on a 101 pace last out at a mile in a graded stake, the other speed has already come back to win a stake. The 1 post is scary, basically miss the break and your dead, and there is some speed in here and other talent but this may be a case of just running them off their feet at 15/1 or so.
