GREAT NEWS, He would not run her if he thought she could lose.

One race doesn't make your narrative. Doubt her all you'd like but I commend Mandella for being a true competitor.

The notion that she should travel cross country is ridiculous when she can run out of her stall to defend a title in the meet's highlight handicap race.

I'll eat crow now, or at least when she runs. I was sure her last race was a good enough excuse to call it good with her. Good on Hughes and Mandella!

I don't understand the complaint. If you don't like the horse you'd figure her going in this spot produces betting value. Oh well it's a moot point. She's running where she belongs.

Maybe it's just been bad luck when she has, but I'd guess this mare doesn't ship well.

It's been a long time since I've been this excited to watch a race.
This from Bloodhorse, after Beholder went a half in :47 in her final serious work before the race: When Mandella met Beholder and Painter back at the barn following the exercise, he asked his rider how she went. Painter, who has worked for the Mandella barn since 1998, just shook her head from side to side in amazement. "Oh, boy. Oh, man," was her comment.

She better find her race from last year or she will be beat like a rented mule. She has run exactly 1 race that makes her competitive with these types. I hope she comes back to form but I have not been overly impressed with her in '16. I truly appreciate her connections give her and the sport every chance.. VERY sporting!!!
