They expected her to easily win the Breeders Cup Juvenile Filly Race. Don't know what happened that day, but Tyler has gotten almost neurotic about winning his 1st Breeders Cup Race. He ain't getting this girl back.

I need to watch the replay again and see the fractions, but that seemed like a pretty nice set-up against a field that probably wasn't going to be finding more in the final strides.

She looked stuck in last (down on the inside.) Beautician was gunna have a much easier trip, and get 1st run. When Beautician backed out of it, that gave Blind Luck a little more room. I don't think it was a perfect trip. She is just good, and got that inconsistent wild card off her back.

It was a very strong effort. The pace was solid but the way she won it really didn't matter. They also went faster than older males did going the same distance two races earlier. That's significant considering Lookin at Lucky went slower than a bunch of older female slowpokes yesterday on the same card.

Since when is saving ground a bad thing? She sat in the pocket behind a very fast, crowded pace and angled out at the perfect time. She was clearly the best horse and her acceleration was visually impressive (even though the wrong lead thing was ugly), but it's easy to look impressive when the horses behind you are basically running in place. I wouldn't dispute that she's better than Luckin At Lucky, though.
