Danzig,
Not to hijack this thread, but I really have a "thing" for big chestnut fillies with a big white blaze on their face.
Today I got back from the farm where we're training my 2yo filly, Shot o' Bourbon. She's accepted tack, being ponied, bath, lunge, and next week, rider up.
Oh...I should tell you who she could be a sister to, but you wouldn't believe me.
Gosh, I love those fillies.

So who rides RTR in her next race? Johnnie V or Gomez

you know gomez has to be sick! oh man, he wanted on her bad. i don't know who gets her next--garrett won with her four times.

rock paper scissors--him and johnny!

Please note - thus far, it has been one filly wins the Belmont per century, and we have just seen the 21st Century's.

Could be? Are her parents trying not to claim her or something?

really nice to see some honest emotion for TAP too....

I didn't realize what this meant until I just heard them mention it on TVG.
The same dam produced back to back Belmont winners. holy moly.

Better Than Honour, how valuable must she be?

She is VERY valuable, while Jazil was pretty much a "one hit wonder" this filly appears to have limitless potential, I would certainly breed her back to AP Indy though!

or an ap indy offspring....they've gone to mineshaft, i think i'd try bernardini.

wonder what the odds are that street sense and rags meet someday in the shed?

I hope people don't get too carried away and talk about her like she's an all-time great filly...and certainly this was no all-time great training job.

Rags to Riches simply belonged in this race....last out, she ran an identical speed figure to what older male Wanderin Boy earned---while over the same track, on the same day, with the more difficult trip of the two. Which assured she'd be in this race--regardless of whoelse did or didn't show.

From a pedigree standpoint, she projected for major improvement on the three furlong stretchout in distance....as she's by the #1 dirt racing distance sire in the game---and out of tremendously stamina laden female family.

She owned a gigantic edge in pedigree over Curlin for the distance---and, getting five pounds in weight over 12 furlongs didn't hurt either.

Don't get me wrong---she certainly enhanced her standing with her performance today...but not as much as people seem to be acting. I've liked her a lot all along---but I just hope people don't get carried away.
