This is absolutely retarded.

First of all people, Indian Blessing is not even close to the same horse she was a year ago. I would not be surprised if she is soon retired.

Second of all, Informed Decision is miles better over synthetic than she is on dirt. Yeah yeah, she won at CD on derby day, I know.

A healthy Informed Decision and Ventura will easily beat Music Note going 7 on synthetic.

How the hell can anyone think she beat a quality field Saturday, and even worse, to say she's clearly a superior sprinter off of one start against a really bad field of 'g1' DIRT sprinters, it's just nuts!

they have to run her somewhere-and does anyone really think she can battle zenyatta to a better finish then she had a year ago? the sprint might not be a great choice, but i guess they feel they have a better shot at a win there then in the distaff.

Can you at least not be condescending because I obviously disagree with you?

I don't get it... why would Godolphin point Music Note for the Filly and Mare Sprint? That is very disappointing - I can only assume by Mettee's comments that they are higher on Cocoa Beach than MN?

Music Note is not a sprinter even though she just won the Ballerina.....she barely lost the 3 year old filly championship last year. What kind of sense does this make?
She just won a G1 over the pro tem leader of the division and the most likely possible additional challenger (Informed Decision and Indian Blessing) at the distance of the BCF/M Sprint. She beat the two fillies (mares) that she'll need to beat at SA and looks like she likes sprinting, her 3yo campaign notwithstanding.

why would you question them when they are winning everything? someone started a thread making fun of vinyard havens entry into the kings bishop and he was the only one that could keep up with cap. candyman. they know what they are doing and the horses are running. don't question success.

They are also pointing Seventh Street and Flashing to the Sprint.

Sounds like they need to create a BC Filly And Mare Dirt Mile...

Don't say that too loud...Greg Avioli is already hot on the trail of the Breeders Cup Juvenile Filly Quarter Mile Sprint and you shouldn't derail the mind of a genius.

Did he abandon his hopes for a Breeders Cup Sprint for 2yo and 4yo fillies in favor of a race with just the 2yos?
