Rich in Spirit, yesterday's 11th at Tampa

[randallscott35]

Couldn't see her that closely on the screen. I will say her form just never seemed to get back to the consistency of last summer.

I noticed that she was fairly ice cold on the board. Didn't see what she looked like though.

She just seemed to be walking strangely in the post parade, not being there live could not see if she warmed up better/worse.. maybe Steve had a better view?

To be honest, I was there as well and didn't pay all too much attention to her warm up... not sure what Steve saw with her. I was really watching My Typhoon and that monster, Cassydora. Cassydora looked like a colt... she was huge.

She looked like she had a serious hitch in her get along in the backend. I did see it and thought she didnt look good at all.

The one that looked bad to me was the 2 horse... Jacaranda Jane. Rich in Spirit didn't look extraordinary, but nothing stood out to me.

Depending on the time of day/shadows, it's kind of tough to judge in the post parade on tv, as a matter of fact, most days very few horses at Tampa look good while parading

Agreed, but I will say there were a few horses yesterday that just looked terrible (and they ran that way as well.) I had originally liked Optimistic Steve a lot, but after seeing him in the paddock, I noticed he had a lot of kidney sweat and I didn't see that as a good thing. Each horse is different, though... Bluegrass Cat ran his best races when he was washed out, so who knows...
