Oracle/Rupert...Debbie Got Even

[GPK]

Did either of you (or anyone else) see the 7th at Delaware today??

Zitos Stephen Got Even filly out of Lady Esther - Seeking the Gold.

Broke her maiden at Toga at first asking and then passed through her N1X today in her first try as well. Raced 3 wide today.very slow fractions (:25.3 :49.4 1:14.1 1:40.0)

Final time for the mile was slow, but that track never plays real quick anyways, but she was VERY PROFESSIONAL looking, IMO, coming down the lane. Nothing green about her whatsoever...was straight as an arrow.

Would love to hear someone elses thoughts that knows more than I do.

I didn't see today's race but I was impressed with her debut. The fig wasn't very good but she was visually impressive. She stumbled pretty badly from the inside post at the start but Leparoux gave her a flawless ride thereafter.

Andy....not sure what kind of fig she will receive for todays run. Tim Ritchey's horse, AKRONISM, cut the fractions today and Stew Elliott really slowed them down as you can see. Debbie Got Even just ran her down very professionally. Akronism looked very green coming down the lane while the winner looked like she was on a string. Rose didn't seem to be doing alot of work on her either. I suspect she could have won by more, but he did just enough to get the win.

She beat a nice filly too in breaking her maiden....the Tale of the Cat filly of Mary Lou Whitneys is a nice filly and had experience and position on her and she still ran her down...I was impressed visually too, blacktw.....

She is a nice filly...were did she run and in what? I meant to put her in the stable mail and never did.....

Cool!..I'll check the chart...she has the pedigree to go long, which is the real intrigue with her...wonder if Nick will think BC Juv. Fillies with her...realistically, aside from Baffert's Point Given filly, I haven't seen anything great for that race who you know will relish two turns and a route of ground....I guess Cotton Blossom should also relish 1 1/16 miles but I wonder how truly talented she is....very intriguing division..

Point Ashley is gonna simply love more distance.

I'm impressed just my evaluating the PPs and then looking at the charts and seeing that she ran down a filly who was on an easy and crawling early pace of almost a 50-second half-mile.....plus, it was that fillies home track and she ran honestly fast in her debut (Ritchey's filly)....

I noticed the race was two-turns too, which is perfect.....Nick obviously wanted to try and get her an easy route test and is probably timing her for October 6th Alcibaides at Keeneland - where her devoid speed shouldn't be at a disadvantage there now with Polytrack...he'll get to keep her around two-turns in this 1 1/16-mile race and it is a perect 3 1/2 weeks till the race and another month to the BC Juvy fillies - so it appears to be the perfect sport for her..

He could also opt for the Frizette the following week at Belmont - but I really cannot see him turing her back to one-turn and hooking the effective sprinters such as Magical Ride and Octave....

I would bet a bundle she surfaces at KEE, and I bet we get a bit of a price on her due to the fact she is not a stakes filly yet, hasn't been flashy in her races, and exits a DEL allowance....she may be one helluva play at 5-1 or better...we'll see....

I didn't see her race today. I remember her maiden win. She actually stumbled pretty badly that day at the break. She lost at least 3 lengths at the start that day.

I didn't have a strong opinion about her maiden win. It was impressive that she won after stumbling so bad at the start. In addition, it's hard to win going 7 furlongs first-time out. Not only that, I think she only had about 5 works going into the race. Zito probably didn't have her totally cranked up that day yet she still won. On the other hand, they weren't exactly flying home that day the final quarter. She was moving alright, nothing great, nothing terrible. It was hard for me to get a really good handle on her off that race. She's bred to run long so she may keep improving as the races get longer. I certainly wouldn't knock her. She's done nothing wrong so far. She's 2 for 2. She was coming back today on only 22 days rest today and she was running an additional 1/8th of a mile. That's not that easy to do. She had a lot of things going against her in both of her races, yet she still won them both. Her numbers may not be great but that doesn't mean that she's not a good horse.
