The 3YO fillies on the east coast are awful and that will certainly help. I was thrilled to hear Royal Delta is fine and back in training because her one maiden race was more impressive than any race Dancinginherdreams has run.

You might already know - but the raw pace fractions are very slow at GP going one-mile because of the run-up.

The Forward Gal pace was very strong - but the relationship between the two sets of fractions is a lot different than it is as most tracks.

Still - of course Dialed In ran another very good one.

I love Tapit, so I like the filly, but the raves about her (like she's a Derby filly or she's a given to win the Oaks) were kind of through the roof.

What is the BSF going to be for Machen's allowance workout? It was the slowest of the 3 races contested at that distance.

Not sure - but the other horses in that field lived in the low to mid 60's range.

Without doing one second of work - and even looking at the other times and races - probably about a 75 because he only won by 5 lengths.
