Then when the other two fillies came to him, she wanted to keep going, and that's what got her caught in that hot second quarter.

Or at least that's how I saw it.

It looked to me like Willie had a snug and comfortable hold on her after she gave up the lead and all through the turn into the stretch. I thought she rated just fine...I really think he shot her on purpose from the start to get in good position in the 3 or 4 slot for the whole race.

well she ran good no doubt but was she supposed to lose getting a pretty easy lead at 7/5?

Only if you really think she should have been 7/5. I thought she should have been around 4/1 and for a 4/1 shot ran pretty well. She didn't really get that easy of a lead either once those two longshots shot up the rail on her.

agree with that, with the scratches thats about right, but the public saw her chances different then I did, and I always give the public their credit and in this case maybe she was 7/5, though I wouldnt touch it.

I think she got a little aggressive when the horse came up the inside of her. That horse was asked to go on and clear and she stayed glued.
