Agreed Sealy Hill ran a knocked up race, we discussed prior to the race that almost anyone in the field with the exception of Pure Clan could win this race. Saying that she was a big surprise.

Pure Clan, much like the winner, ran to her pps.

I wonder how she would have done in the QE II.

Andy, How's the weather shaping up today down there? Any chance of things staying on the turf?

We haven't had rain in nearly a month and it is closing weekend.

I expect we will be on the turf....plus it really hasn't rained yet.

I had WAW on some P3 tickets, but come on guys, the winner was just better.

I'm sorry but Sealy Hill was second best yesterday, yes she had a great trip but she was second last heading into the stretch to only narrowly miss. She closed into slow fractions, I don't know what Jerry Bailey was watching but his analysis that there was a honest pace was an error in my mind. If anything Wait A While's stalking trip was more beneficial to Forever Together and Sealy Hill's runs. Though Wait A While is still a very nice horse, I don't think she is as dominant as she was in her 3 yr old season, It's not like Pletcher's are running a hole in the wind this yr.
