If she does well this weekend, I hope they wheel back in the Test.
She ran in the Manhattan Beach on turf and fared poorly. She's been campaigned with no confidence it would seem.

Yeah, I went and looked at the stakes nom PPs on the track website. She wasn't even favored in that inconsequential turf race.

She had a big reputation at Santa Anita. Pretty sure she got a hefty Beyer at least for the maiden win.

Another talented horse about to get buried by synthetic surfaces. Didn't anyone learn anything from Nicole H?

The thing is, you can't beat California weather.

The irony being that it has all-weather racing surfaces.

If the race was at Del Mar I would agree with you but dirt form does hold up well at Hollywood. Distance and company is more of an issue with her then surface in this instance.

Do you have any stats to back this up? I hear this notion a lot, but I've yet to see any hard evidence behind it.

No stats, just from my handicapping experiences and seeing the results and paying attention as much as I do. I wouldn't even know how to find the stats to back up the opinion.

If I played synthetic races, I would be heavy on Mildly Offensive and have her on top of Tanday and Shotgun Gulch.
