Why do you say that?

I guarantee you that Frankel thought sure he had 2nd place in this race.QL.M. would not let that filly by for 2nd.These 2 fillies ran so much farther than the winner had to.

Well, considering she spotted the field multiple lengths and was making just her second career start, the first being a 6F race in late October, it is hardly surprising Down hung a bit late in the game. It's hard to believe she won't prove the best of these down the road.

And, despite having his name being soiled on this board by a certain delusion poster's pretend relationship with him, Frankel is a pretty damn good trainer.

I don't think she hung badly.Both lost a ton of ground in the race,and were tired from it,but Q.L.M. started running hard when that filly tried to go by her.I think you'll see that both these fillies are nice.THEY BOTH LOST HUGE GROUND IN THIS RACE.I don't know what more you can ask from 2 year old fillies than to keep running in the stretch after that.

She didn't hang " badly "...but she hung.

Whether right or wrong, I'm not a big ground loss guy, especially on the final turn.

You're simply defective.You want 2 year old fillies to run fast,but I can GUARANTEE you they simply can't run all that fast if they have trips like the 2nd and 3rd place horses did.

I don't " want " anything. These horses are slow. Period. They are slow relative to even moderately talented horses from their division over the past measurable years. Doesn't particularly matter to me, but I know even relatively good horses when I see them, and this group, and division, is not in that category.

The third horse had a lousy trip in that she spotted the field a few lengths. The second horse lost some ground, and probably more importantly seemed to blow the final turn into the strecth and thus lost some momentum, but I don't know that I consider her to have gotten a lousy trip. She's a deep closer....what kind of trip did she figure to get.

There were two 1 1/16 mile races at Hollywood today. The first was a NW1X for 2YO colts where they went slow early and faster late ( 24.8 48.8 1:12.9 1:37.37 1:43.58 ) while the Starlet went much faster early and slowed down quite a bit late ( 22.43 45.47 1:10.3 1:35.89 1:42.61 ). That would certainly not bolster the case that Quick Little Miss had a difficult trip. Sounds to me like the race collapsed. But, the final time was decent...at least relative to the earlier race.
