I'm assuming Englehart will layout potential plans on ATR which I haven't listened to yet...

Ria Antonia is far more likely to never win any race again than she is to earn a single qualifying point for the Derby.

More than a couple of clockers thought she was training very well coming into the race

That may be true but that doesn't mean she has a prayer at being a serious Derby contender.

Did they also have advanced information that an 81 Beyer would be good enough for a victory?

I don't know, but I sure don't like how she was lugging in during the stretch. Not necessarily a good sign.

Otherwise, I would say she doesn't want to go beyond a mile.

Yeah, she didn't look good. I was just piggybacking on the 81 Beyer comment. I seemed almost impossible she couldn't run at least that, and like you I wasn't particularly sold on her.

Didn't she run an 86 on a fast track after a poor break last time?
