She couldn't even catch the 3rd place finisher, a horse that was 7th to her 8th at the first call. In a race where the winner and 3rd place finisher were 6th and 7th early, I find it hard to use pace as an excuse for the horse that was 8th early.

How about she isn't all that and never was.. How good do you really have to be to be a quasi star on the turf in the US. The horses are basically ordinary. 3 year old fillies that can run a little are graded turf winners in the states, why anyone would believe that any of them are more then products of depleted breeding stock and fewer decent turf trainers is beyond me. Almost all of or turf star in the states would be marginal Group 3 listed animals in Europe. Why would anymore suspect that we could have turf runners that can be or should be reviewed as more then dirt wannbes?
