Are you talking about the fast pace she got that played right into her style?

You're right, she'd never get that in the Derby. What was I thinking?!

the traffic is the biggest thing yes, but where is all the speed coming from in the derby this year ? there is not much speed, and the boys in front of her wont be quiting like they did at oaklawn, they go 22 and change early the 2 bombs who go that fast and are close to the pace finish last and third to last, even cotton blossom the heavy favorite who was close to the pace was empty and had nothing for high heels when she went by.

I'm as big a fan as any of Cotton Blossom, but watch the replay of that race and tell me that High Heels wasn't really digging in her 'heels.' She may have got a great setup, but she was much the best there and is worthy of her win.

i did watch the replay and i have the chart in my hand.....the horses who were on or near the early pace quit they finished 6,7,8, out of 8, the other horse near the lead was cotton blossom and she had nothing for the winner the winner blew by, i am impressed with the winner shes a nice horse and i love e dubais, but i dont think she'd have a shot in the derby.

And the 1,2,3 horses early on in the Derby last year finished 16,19,20 in a field of 20.

She's not your winner, but if Teuflesburg can have a spot in the gate, why can't she?

Teuflesburg will be hard pressed to have enough earning to get in, not that he has any business in there....and he is probably 5 lengths better than High Heels

See, this is what I'm talking about.

Remember this next time before you send me some huffy boo-hoo private message.

If she goes, I will take action that she will not finish last -- which should be a great bet for you, considering that she is "at least 5 lengths better" than the worst colt or gelding in the race.
