i'm thinking 7f. she seems to have a high cruising speed, just can't find that final passing gear.
great effort nonetheless, and chuck & team can't be praised enough w/ the job they have done.
i think her pedigree screams that she will be even better as she ages, so there's more fun ahead for her and the Dee Tee crew, no doubt.

I know many of us are a bit disappointed, but she's been in the money every time Chuck has spotted her for us. I agree she didn't seem happy with the tail swishing (noticed that too), glad the scope came back clean. The winner ran a huge race.

Our girl is worth every bit of the adrenaline surge, every time - on we go to next time!

Perhaps a move to the Jamie Sanders stable could help her.

Dear Jimmy,

I was rooting for her there this afternoon, Just adding a little levity to hopefully ease the disappointment, so kindly remove that giant stick from your ass, especially when you consider the amount of bashing Ms. Sanders takes from all of you.

so, the one man jamie sanders fan club shows up...with motives pure as the driven snow no doubt.

Would it be crazy to give our girl a nice long rest??

Ever since the Churchill race she seems to be working with a little less turn of foot to the naked eye. The heart will still bring a tear of pride to your eye but what limited instincts I have about all of this says she would be stronger if we let her have some time away from a grueling August campaign while Chuck gets a chance to develop some more confidence to go with that tenacious will to outrun her sisters......

her running style seems very suited for sprints...

any thoughts ??

I disagree. She gets out of the gate pretty well, but I think her strength is being able to continue a fast (but not quite sprinter-fast) pace through the second and third quarter and still (before Sunday's try at 9f) have something left for the stretch. From what I have seen from her, I think 8f-8.5f is where she will do her best running.

Agreed. She has a good motor but she is not sprinter fast. She does exit the gate very well based on the 4 races I have seen. With her high cruising speed she is going to get tired. I think a mile is the distance. I still believe she was very well placed in this race even though we lost. Considering she was at Saratoga, Mr. Simon found a very good spot and we learned a bit I believe.

That is one awesome looking horse that the group has. From what I have been reading about her she has come a long way and the group should hold thier heads up high. Could it of been the hot weather that messed her up a little bit, in addition to the distance? From what I see just under 1 1/8 seems to be the proper distance for her. Don't worry her day will come soon. I can almost guarantee that.
