Default Yesterday's best performance

Guys, if you haven't seen it, go watch yesterday's G3 Regret, which was CD's 8th...Lady of Venice was bottled up turning for home, bulled her way through a few horses and split off with remarkable ease...it was simply astounding, and watching the race, you could tell Leparoux still had a lot of horse left after the wire. Very nice 3-year-old filly who could take advantage of the weak F&MT division later in the year.

Bulled her way through is right. She made her own hole when there wasn't one, pinballing off of two other horses. The ease with which she dispatched of that field was breathtaking.

Her time was significantly faster than 3yr old colts at the same distance. A serious filly.

More impressive to me about that race was the moves that Leperoux was using with his horse, now that seemed impressive to me. He is the best jock in the country right now, hands down! Simply a NATURAL!

He is very very good, and keeps getting better. IMO almost any jockey could have gotten the job done yesterday on Lady of Venice as she was so much better than the rest.

She's what Melhor Ainda was last year, and that's pretty darn good. MA is a tremendous filly and, when she returns, will add luster to this division. She's got a phenomenal turn of foot and is seriously game and classy......IF she's the same filly. I'm hoping she is - her injury in the Flower Bowl last year was devastating to me because I believed absolutely that she was the best turf filly or mare out there.......her elders included.

I said ALMOST any jockey. lol

I thought about you today in the first. The 11 was ridden by Shane and trained by Scott Holas. I though oh man Scav's is pounding this one! Actually the horse made a little run and finished fourth.
