Default A productive key race?

Maybe? When does Highway Star come back.

Ironically, the biggest improvement in Beyer figs next time out came from Bar of Gold, who lost her next start. Songbird's Beyer went down, as did Paid Up Subscriber's, even in a 30+ length romp. Carina Mia was cutback to a distance she prefers and improved from a 90 to a 92. Factory of Faith was all out to win a money allowance at Thistle and her fig dropped 12 points.

yea, and most of them were strong favorites.

I just found it funny when I clicked on the race and saw nothing but ones.

And Bar of Gold ran a winning race; she just had the misfortune to run into a killer in Grand Jete.

Thanks for pointing this out. By no means am I convinced that the 4YO Songbird is as good as the 3YO Songbird was, but after recently listening/reading all the gratuitous shots people have been leveling at her, I was starting to think that Songbird was little more than a nice allowance horse.

We dont know what Songbird is yet this season. I guess we will find out a bit more this weekend. It seems most are assuming she has taken a step back.

I long ago put her into the Cigar category when he was machine like.
Until she starts losing,I either play her or skip betting on her race/betting sequence(mind you I'm 99% a multi-race player).
I should be able to find a way to use her this Saturday.

Took 3 swings since the Ogden Phipps, but got it done.

Only Highway Star remains and she's back in tomorrow.

I decided to pass on here in the race against Grand Jete....but I got out for the last one today.

I am using Highway Star for sure, though I think she may be closer to 6/1 than 10/1 in that spot.
