A good break for all 9 runners made it tough for Pills. It became clear she wasn't going to make the lead. Horses to her inside forced her even wider through the turn. It was a tough spot for her today. I think the #9 horse-Moonstruck Bertie is a bet back from our race. Taken back after a decent break to save ground and relaxed down the backside seemed to help the Firster. The big, long legged gray looked very impressive in the paddock and was really making up a lot of ground in the final 1/16th. Another super-fun day overall with Rampillion and Ships Cabin on the card and all the fellow DT'ers on hand in Louisville.
