Here's hoping she's not expecting that absolutely perfect BC trip again.

yeah she was such a lucky winner that day

Shame we have two G1s here on the same weekend over 8 and 9 furlongs.

She's good, no doubt, but she got a much better trip than the runner up. That much should be acknowledged.

I had to watch the race again to make sure i knew what you were saying, but to me Kip just lacked tactical speed to get a nice position in the race. He didnt get a bad trip really. Anyway, you could have put the filly anywhere in that race and she'd have won. Ive rarely seen such instant acceleration like that in my life.

Why because she has the tactical speed to get position she should apologize for being superior to Kip Deville in that aspect? Really FM?

[randallscott35]

She was much the best that day.

What can I say? You're yet another devotee of the Eric Donovan trip handicapping methodology.

Balius to the SIA Cup (Singapore), Alexandros possible for the Lockinge instead, Trincot possible for the Premio Presidente della Repubblica (Capannelle)...
