Race 9 : As for the ninth race, I will never, ever, ever play the constantly hanging Ballerina Belle in any situation where it requires her to seal the deal by passing a front runner in the stretch. Second in six of nine starts now, that was a terrible hang job against a 44 and change front running Richies Sweetheart who was shortening stride.

Ballerina Belle had absolutely zero excuse for not running that horse down, zero. Painful.
