wow, that was close!

I think she got up.

Nice ride by Smith!

She only ran inside the sixteenth, she is a good horse...however she might be in trouble if they were to play around in a race with a stellar field.

Actually I think that race was more a testament to her, she's a big lumbering filly so you probably don't want to cover her up and take a chance late splitting horses too often but I would love to see her with a Jockey that doesn't leave her with an impossible trip the majority of the time, she may need that one inch someday.

Agreed.

What a stretch drive... very exciting.

Probably, but regardless, it really was an exciting horse race.

Yawn.

I think it wasnt a great ride by Smith, how could he not know they were crawling up front? It was close because he made it close, it would have been a shame to see her get beat because of it.

I was very impressed .. she got up and caught a horse who ran 5th in an N3X allowance race last time out.

You want them to try and save ground with that heffer?

Come on, there's only one style with that mare and that's exactly how Smith rides her.

That was an exciting race and certainly the pace worked against her, so it shows what a quality horse she is. That being said, I turned TVG off immediately after the race because I needn't hear one more second of Todd Schrupp's bombastic proclamations about Zenyatta.

This pace stuff. It's not like she's always raced against 22 4/5 quarters. They went 46 2/5 last year and she won by just one length.

#15 08-09-2009, 07:56 PM

I'll catch it on Youtube. Watching TVG makes me wish death on the hosts.

If TVG was based on the east coast, then he would be carrying on about RA.

I'm getting tired of some of their commentators "bias" for the west coast. I don't care which coast is better.....just give out honest opinions that the horseplayers would listen to. Send the FoxNet crowd packing........

Not a problem. All Jackson has to do is send his FAST filly out there and kick her ass. It's really that simple. Maybe he can get her that wide stalking trip, you know, the one that works real well on POLY.

outofthebox · #18 08-09-2009, 08:00 PM

Del Mar Website has her coming home the final 1/4 in 22.57. That is smoking.

I did exactly the same thing.

Indian Charlie · #20 08-09-2009, 08:03 PM

That was a really retarded ride by Smith.

It made me think of Desoremoan, they way he overthought things.
