This woman is completely clueless. She has no idea how to place her horses. If she "learned" that from Zito, he isn't much of a teacher. I feel sorry for the horse.

Someone needs to let her know there are some big races for 3yo spinters where she could actually cash a check. Since she is paid on what the horse earns.

I can't recall seeing this much agreement over a subject on this forum. Add me to the list too. I started a thread on another forum before the Derby asking the question "Where Did She Get Her License?" This is beyond ridiculous. If she's so intent on running the horse every 3-4 weeks, that's one thing. But have a plan and put him in spots where he has a chance to be competitive. And to use the Blue Grass result as justification that he had a shot in the Derby is completely wrong. We may not be the greatest of handicappers on here but when nine of 10 of us can obviously see something, perhaps we are right. He set extremely slow fractions and STILL couldn't hold on. There was nothing to even remotely indicate that he would do better with a faster pace and another furlong. Elliott says "I thought I had more horse than I had. But that was it." If she won't listen to us, if she won't listen to reason, listen to the man that was on his back. She says the horse talks to her. LISTEN TO THE DAMN HORSE!!!

Another thing that needs to put to rest is this silly stuff about the tighter turns and shorter distance of the Preakness. For one, the layout is not much different than Churchill. I remember a few years ago, the network that was doing the Preakness super-imposed a picture of the Pimlico layout over the Churchill one and it was surprisingly similar. Also, it's only 110 yards shorter. Technically, it's a shorter race. But if u have a horse that can't get the Derby distance, he's 95% unlikely to get the Preakness distance.

Actually, she is part owner of the horse so she isn't exactly "paid".

Don't forget that they just sold a piece of the horse to a guy looking to latch onto a ride in the Triple Crown. There may be some pressure to run from that party. Pure speculation.

I am surprised that she isn't going to Pimlico early so that she can run T-berg in a race next weekend.

Reminds me of the Arizona Fair Circuit. There are guys that run their horses every weekend, and then get pissed if they cannot find a race on a weekend. Pretty funny, but thats what you do with $1500 claimers...
