No.

She is only the sole horse to blame for this horse not winning a Grade 1 stakes race ...



I am a big fan of history ... and would have loved to see a horse who was 4th or worse in 6 races in a row - and 10 out of the last 11 win a Grade 1.

I have no problem that her connections "retired" her but kept her in full training. Strategic misdirection of the populace for a greater good. I'd have done the same. It seems to bother Gales though.

I know what her prior record is but I thought Dance to My Tune ran HUGE last saturday, she was kinda unlucky to lose.

She did run huge ... she set a very strong pace and held on gamely for a horse stretching out 2.5 furlongs in distance. I'm not exactly impressed with what was behind her though.

If McPeak had run My Baby Baby ... she probably would have beat Dance to My Tune very soundly.

Baffert is a horse prodigy type of person. He can see and smell a good and bad horse from a mile away. He likes to eye up the competion in the morning, besides his own horse flesh. He reminds me of a well trained circus animal.
