I was a fan of the Ballston Spa not for precisely the same reasons as some others, but more because it really had a talented and deep field. It was a good effort by Wait A While, who did indeed hail from the frigid Todd Pletcher barn at the time.

She didn't "crumble," but, in my opinion and at 7-10, she showed absolutley nothing.
