Very interesting comments from Turbulent Descent's trainer, saying that 8.5f was her max and that he'd be looking to cut back in distance and that the Kentucky Oaks is not on the horizon for her. Watching it and considering her running style, I would have thought that this race would benefit her big time and set her up perfectly for 9f but he says that's not the case and what had her shortening stride was the distance and not her conditioning. I'd have to think they may end up sending her to Belmont and seeing if the one-turn can help her get 9f.
