Default Nice tactics by Indian Blessing's camp

You have a filly with tremendous early speed who has repeatedly staggered home through the stretch in all of her race except her debut at 5.5 furlongs - only winning each times because Indian Blessing fractures fields with her tremendous speed - which has always been on display in either the early or middle stages.

Gomez opts to rate her - takes away by far her greatest weapon (her natural speed) and basically turns the race into a 2 furlong stretch sprint with a filly who has always won inspite of staggering through the stretch.

That was really fun stuff to watch. You have a four horse field - two of which are VERY overmatched - and the connections of the more likely winner of the other two do everything in there power to give the other runner every chance.
