I don't know why Creative Cause was dull in the Del Mar Futurity. Nobody likes to blame jocks, but Bejarano was so out of sync at the close of the Del Mar Meet. Seeing him romp today (like he was expected to do in the Del Mar futurity) I just think Bejarano had zero confidence in himself, and he didn't get the horse to relax that lil bit that is necessary for this horse to blast home. He looked better today than he did in his win at Del Mar, too. So, he probably didn't like Del Mar track that much. That probably was more evident going 7f. Drill was also supposed to like Anita way more than Del Mar. That wasn't as big an effort as Baffert was expecting.

Well, she's now only 2 for 7 at Anita. She's 10 for 15 everywhere else. Theoretically, past failures at this track shouldn't make a difference (because this is a new dirt surface,) but, in reality, maybe she has some sort of uncomfortable vibe about this place. You notice he didn't have published recent works for her here. His comment the other day was that she was doing great and "She loves that track over there (HWD PARK.")...... We'll see, but they said she seemed fine after the race. I think she's had enough of this place. She doesn't like it.

Got to give credit where due to Zazu and Ultra Blend. Fine performances by both. |

And Awesome Gem . . . he just keeps on coming. I know he finished second, but still

Blind Luck ran a compete and utter non-effort. A performance like that has nothing to do with the track.

Agreed. I think the fact she missed her start after the Delaware Handicap was very telling.

Yup... writing was on the wall in August. Hope she bounces back, but awfully tough with zero meaningful efforts since July to compete in the BC.

What are the odds that Creative Cause will be sold to Godolphin or Darley by the end of the week, shipped to Dubai and never seen again?

I doubt Sheikh Mo wants him.

Think about who the sire of the horse is.

no doubt there are some very serious offers for creative cause. but sheik mo won't be calling. and i agree with hossy as to why.
hopefully blind luck bounces back after that complete non-effort. but i have to wonder if they plan on the bc all things considered.

Close to zero, with that sire.

Why would they not buy a horse sired from Giants Causeway?
|
#17
|
||||
|
||||
Because they hate Joey from NY.
That, and they are bitter rivals with the people who stand Giants Causeway. |

they've had a feud going on for a while now..well, i say they, but it seems mostly the sheik and his disdain for all things coolmore.

I never thought she was going to run at Del Mar so I didn't think she missed a start there. When they brought her back so early in the winter, I didn't ike it because I felt there was no way she ran throughout the year. She was going to have to take a break and it was going to come in the summer. With her having won at Delaware before and a big money race there she wasnt missing that. With Hollendorfer not wanting to face the boys, his talk about possibly going in the Pacific Classic was just talk. I thought it was the perfect time to take a break. Today was unusual. Perhaps you guys are right and the writing was on the wall but I just think it was a bad day.
