I realize there are a lot of idiots in this industry but surely SOMEONE has a horse that can take that easy $180k home. What's stopping them? I know if I had a filly/mare, I'd ship her out there for some of what St. Trinians got ( i.e, a long vacation).
Not as easy as you make it sound. Sure the competition sucks, but that trip over the Rockies is really tough.

Don't forget how scary the dmr surface has been to Z this meet too.

Consider it a miracle if she manages to get her footing over that track.

Paid workout, she wins by a measured length with a solid 87 Beyer. Of note Smith who won a rare race yesterday was sitting on 1 win for the Delmar meet thus far. That might be her biggest challenge.

Did I say anything that was incorrect? Smith is riding like the Eastern equivalent of Jose Lezcano and the beyer of this race will not be an overwhelming one.

Well won by a neck, but the Beyer is definitely going to be a very good prediction. The race was pathetically slow.
