Of all days, why would this be the day? SHe is the only filly to defeat boys in a Grade 1 this year in America. What has she done wrong?

She's slow. She won one of the weakest Kilroes I've ever seen and has benefited from a pitiful group of turf fillies. Ave won the Flower Bowl FFS.

At least shes consistent, no? Of all of her big Grade 1's this year, she gets far and away the best on paper setup today.

Consistently slow isn't a virtue to me.

Ok Jose... But you will defend other horses to the death, even the ones who get beat all the time, but because they can run 104 beyers? Proviso is the goods, ONLY WAY SHE GETS BEAT TODAY IS WITH A BAD TRIP FROM MIKE. What was wrong with her Spinster? BC Ladies Classic? Even her G1 sprint race? Where is her bad or off day? Im really not seeing her bad race? Tell me where its at, and why you would say you hope todays the day she gets beat? The truth is, every single race she has been in, on turf, has been a slow paced race. If anything she has been totally up against it in her last 3 races, all G1's one vs males.

Not to mention twice running third to Goldikova, once 4th when Goldikova was third beaten a head. Also not badly beaten by Zarkava. Really not sure what anyones beef could be with this gal.

[ateamstupid]

EVERYTHING I SAY IS IMPORTANT.

Dude, she's slow. She was an also-ran in France and she would be here if we had any turf fillies/mares who were worth anything. She never threatened Goldikova or Zarkava except for once when Goldi didn't fire on soft turf. What she did in France is meaningless anyway considering I'm talking about what she is now. She was life and death to beat Shared Account and Forever Together in the Diana. How did those two look in the Flower Bowl? How have Phola and My Princess Jess come back to run? She's beating dregs, there's no two ways about it.

Take this with good intent. Proviso has gotten good trip after good trip. Maybe she gets another one today and wins. Maybe her quota of good trips is up for her racing career and she actually has to run a bit toady. Or, at least, she doesn't get the best trip in the race. It's not that she can't win. It's that you're so wrong about the 'quality' of her trips.

I hope Gio Ponti goes in the Mile... I think he has a legit chance against Goldikova.
