If you put blinkers on this horse, you will undue all the hard work that Chuck has done to get her to rate. She is a horse with speed, she isn't a hanger

Bid said it best that hilarious Mojica Jr gunned her horse, right when Willie had her nice and settled, and it got her into the bit again

That is my feeling as well. Her record screams hanger but from watching all of her races that isn't the case at all.

I disagree about her record screaming hanger. Just becuase she has 2nd/2nd/2nd doesn't mean hanger. She has gone up against two stakes horses and run hard against both, and then she yesterday she ran into an improver with a perfect trip.

Running second in those situations is not a bad thing. 6 months ago this horse was a 15k claimer, now she is solid allowance horse

If you watch the race again, you see her settle in and slow down in the stretch and then once she sees GD pass her Sumwon kicks it back in. How do you propose on fixing that?

She slowed down because she wasn't switching leads. When she switched at the 1/16 pole, she took off again.

All I meant by that was if you knew nothing about the horse and saw a 8-1-6-0 record you would immediately think hanger. Having watched all her races though we know that isn't the case.
