I thought Stallingrad ran a real nice race in the Fourstardave and wish he had won. Thought for sure he was a winner at the top of the stretch and so too did Tom Durkin. That was a big step up for him and I thought he was really good.

I really thought Model ran really nice. Very Consistent filly who always runs in the money. Took a big jump in class and ran her best race yet. Made that monster move and kept running well but Zenyatta had giant leaps to cruise on by.

for me, it had to be Model finishing so well behind Zenyatta, what a great performance

The Empire Maker-Flute firster at Delmar? Great breeding, bad stats for a 1st timer...ran a good race for a horse that will need more ground.

I saw that too. To be honest I was disapointed with her run yesterday. I know breeding says long and it was FTS but kinda ran tired for third.

Solo Piano is the filly we are talking about...I completely hear where you are coming from, I just thought considering the sire was just 3% 1st time starters and you just have to think Frankel wasn't saying let's tighten the screws so we can win a 6 1/2 f Mdn Sp Wt on a Monday card, she showed more speed than I would have thought, plus she was abit wide and Bejarano may have moved early. It was a good effort, she should improve 2nd time out.
