I think he gave her a fine ride. Maybe he could have waited a few more seconds to make the move at the stretch, but it was a good ride.

She looked like she really wanted to run fast in the first 1/2 mile.

They should have finished where they did. They were no-hopers.

yeah, we do. she's doing great, lots of excitement for sure!!! i know she's done more than we could have hoped for...hitting the board in allowances, paying her way and we're having a ball!

best $500 i have EVER spent. i'm just waiting for them to pull the trigger on the next one, this has been great.

They go up to 100k claimers for straight 3 yr old fillies.

*edit, you are correct. The higher end claimers in the condition book are mostly AOC's. To answer your question no, not for 35k*

Sometimes you are better off letting one relax themselves as opposed to holding them. It took just enough out of her to cost them the race. Mojica didnt help shooting up the rail with a crow, but thats where Willie makes all the difference, good or bad. Im a very bad jockey basher, but I always believe if you lose by a half you could have won.

I think she was the best horse in the race, when the best horse doesnt win its usually because of the trip, or ride.

Its a heartbreaker. She put away that Pletcher horse and looked like an easy winner at the top of the stretch... you could hear all the DT people screaming! I think I heard Scav.

I don't think that the post position was really a negative factor at all...the pace, and that she never really got much of a breather the whole race may have been her downfall...still in all she ran great...CS had her ready and had her placed well...maybe next time...hope she comes back sound and eats up well.

They don't go any LOWER than 30K claiming at the Spa.

She'll have some nice allowance spots as well as (likely easier) 50K spots...

She did run a winning race, no doubt about it. Optimal effort, certainly

I don't have a probelm with how she ran. Maybe the 46 days played a factor...probably not. She's a quick horse and I thought Willie rode her fine. From the 9 hole she got very good position. She looked like a winner at the top of the stretch to me...the other horse just ran her down. I agree about the lead change problem...that could be the half length right there.

No way, I don't think even $50K would be an option at this point. You have to realize that this isn't like normal partnerships. The goal isn't to make as much money as possible, it is to have some fun with horse ownership. So even running her in a stakes race at Saratoga would be an option if Chuck thought we could do so without her coming out any worse for the wear. For a lot of us just having a horse run at Saratoga would be incredible.
