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.
