Betting Music Note to Show

Does Music Note stand a chance in the Distaff (sorry, I'm not calling it the Ladies Classic)? Nevermind to win, but to at least run well? I thought the Alabama (after thinking about if for some days) would have probably toughened her up, but here she was beating cream puffs so we didn't get to see. I really wish this had been a better field - what ends up happening in races like this is that the winner doesn't get any credit and it's as if there was almost no point in even running the race.

She'll be one to look at, given she might be a forgotten 3rd or 4th choice in the betting. Really even if Country Star ran in this race we wouldn't have learned anything. Today's race was basically a paid workout, heck maybe workout is too strong an adjective. Walk perhaps is more fitting.

Agreed - MN would have won in a canter even with CS in the race. I don't understand why races like the Gazelle attract such bad fields - is a grade 1 win worth nothing anymore?

Today was hilarious (well, it was for me as a MN fan) - she really was out for a walk in the park. Tom Durkin's call was great.

I laughed too! Hopefully she goes into the Distaff as the CHALK.
