On to Hot Springs , and we will see who does what , will be interesting to see who goes for the 500k for third.
Not sure how much you'd factor it into things, but if I recall correctly, they were running into a significant headwind on the backstretch, so maybe not quite as slow as it seemed.

Older allowance males went :49.0 and 1:13.3 a few races earlier.

But the final time wound up pretty close...pace may have been a bit more taxing than it seems on paper.

But I'm fried after today, so I don't even know what to make of all that, or if I'm making an important point or not

Hey Cardus maybe what Im saying is that she is getting away with some stuff in the mornings , maybe Assman know's it but doesnt know what to do to correct it . I do know she is really strong to gallop and it wouldnt be beyond belief that if the gallop boy is just riding her in a d bit that he might be cocking her head to cheat her around the track so she doesnt run off . Maybe I read to much into stuff , but from years of experiance I can tell you she shouldnt be running along with her head tipped one way or the other .

My take on it , is it might be a bit saltly and be an aquired tastes.....the looks of of it , well you must know is kinda untasty. Do you like it freddy? Maybe you like that saltyness smacking your lips. Mom says its good , Ill take her word on it.
