The 9 is the filly sales-topper Charlotte Weber bought 3 years ago at KEE. Mott had her originally... The daughter of the great Escena is now with Frankel.

McGaughey's filly has all breezing works and a single handily work (from the gate). And, this work is significantly faster than any of the others: 46.1 handily from the gate on April 18 at KEE. She runs, 1st time, April 25 and is outrun 23 lengths the 1st quarter, run in 45.3, after breaking slowly (but nothing significant).
Go figure that one out. P.S. Why is there a distinction between breezing and handily works when so many have argued on this board that horses taken in hand during races couldn't have run faster if asked?

Value Stream and Venetian Causeway ran in the same race on 4/25 at Keeneland. I just watched the race and Value Stream ran a winning race and was unfortunate to lose. The winner of the race Alluring Tune finished third as the favorire last Sunday at Belmont but had a bad trip as she checked on the turn which caused her to lose momentum in addition to a few lengths.
I already posted that I like Madam Bling to run a good race. Value Stream, as I was reminded by another poster is the horse to beat. Tagg trained horses have had their pictures taken quite a few times since Belmont Park opened.

Taking horses trying the turf for the first time at short prices is never a great idea. Plus, Tagg is now being overbet, especially in these situations, so you are taking much the worst of it with this horse. Look, obviously the horse can win, but making money at the track requires being counterintuitive, particularly in these kinds of situations, and betting on the Value Streams of the world is a losing proposition over the long haul.

The points you made about Value Stream are definately valid about taking a horse at a short price trying grass first time. But once again we are confronted with the move from Poly to grass or dirt. She's been morning glory since coming to Belmont. How that translates to raceday is an ? which will be answered in about 13 hours.
