Default Ashado

I noticed on the Bloodhorse Breeders Cup preview, they listed Ashado as "still in training". Huh??? It's on the list of Distaff winners.

Kev, she was so overrated it hurts. Beat up on tin cans in her division and got crushed in the BC when she should've been off the board entirely.

I just thought it was strange that the Bloodhorse would make such a big mistake. She sold for 9 mil and they're keeping her in training? Yeah right.
I wasn't impressed by her at the sale. She was a complete wing nut. Yeah, she came off the track to the sale, but so did Stellar Jayne and she was a lady through and through. I would have given 9 mil for her before I would Ashado.

I didn't like this mare either, thought she was very course looking, I like a mare to look feminine, I also much preferred Stellar Jayne in every way. I always felt Ashado was extremely lucky in that Azeri and Sightseek retired the year before, she would have been dusted by those mares in every race as they put impressive times down, something Ashado rarely if ever did.

I totally agree.
And I agree that she wasn't exactly a "pretty picture." Course is a great description.
