Octave had a candy rail trip. She was simply not good enough. Any bias did not beat her. And, quite frankly, that was as bad a juvenile fillies field as I havce ever seen.

Todd's a terrific trainer, and was hardly disgraced today, but there is little doubt the barn underperformed overall. But, he also has overperformed on many occasions and will live to fight many more days.
