That was annoying. No way she should've been 16-1 and she had absolutely nowhere to go in the stretch. She's legit. So's the winner.

Not even about that, man. She got clear with plenty of time. Lezcano just couldn't get her straightened out and in a drive. He absolutely sucks. When he finally got her to change leads, stopped ****in around with the reins, took a hold and put a stick to her, she TOOK OFF.

Was my play as well, but I'm not sure she was getting up to the winner even without that brief traffic hesitation. I would say she continues to improve with distance experience and wants even more added ground. Nice filly...

Very Proud of Our filly there I thought she ran A Huge race, For a Brief moment there I thought She was going to Win. I think She has a Bright Future in front of her.

You might be right--and Steve might be right that she wasn't getting to the winner-but I'm so sick of betting horses who end up getting stuck inside. I'm all for saving ground--obviously I strongly prefer it. But a rider needs to have an exit strategy and the ability to carry out that strategy if he's going to take an inside path. Staying glued to the rail and just hoping that you'll magically get an opening doesn't work.

Congrats and agreed Mitch, she almost overcame a 4 wide 1st turn, 3 wide uncovered trip to just narrowly miss. Super race by her.
