Does today's bias come into play when voting for 3 year old filly?

This could be fun to follow.....

Yet another reason why the pk5 is so poorly placed.

You should. Tomorrow's P5 at Santa Anita might be the best value multi race exotic of all time considering the low take, and 1 millie in the kitty already.

If you can find a way to beat Flashback in the 2nd (which with the way the track is playing, its extremely possible because I don't see him on the lead), it will absolutely massive.

I will take a peek but I have strong opinions on single horses, never lots of races.

Its not worth playing, at all IMO. Flashback might be really good, and he might not be much and he might not be ready off the layoff, but that field is trash and I think he is like 80% likely to win that race. Seems like a huge waste of time and money trying to beat him in this spot. Waiting for BC races. You get 3 BC pick 3's. Thats enough for me.

The track is in the process of being sealed, then rolled and scraped.

Any race run on dirt today should not be considered in voting IMO. Frankly, I would not have blamed them if they scratched Princess of Sylmar since she had no chance on that track.

She still didnt run a step, track did not get her beat 17 lengths.

She was 4 lengths back of Royal Delta in their last race, she was 10 back today, she did no running at any point.

I agree once she did not run early she was not going to make up much ground but you think she could have passed a Royal Delta who stopped at the QP.

The fact that she could not get past Royal Delta who I agree stopped IMO confirms even more how much the bias affected the results today.

You think she ran today and it was the track that held her back?

It would have been great to see that, would have really REALLY made a statement because they could have scratched up to 2 hrs before post.
