I wanted to play against the big fav but it was like a coin flip figuring out who was going to go to the lead. Sisterson said he thought his Euro import might but she was racing against like Delaware Park of Europe types and just wasn’t that good. I mean the winner literally got about a 3/4 of a mile head start. Just crazy to me that people with decent allowance horses with speed don’t take shots in races like this. Even being 3rd in a grade 2 is a huge feather in the cap of a fillies resume.
The Flower Bowl felt like a “Win and you’re gonna definitely lose at the BC” race
You said it and have written about how the turf races are almost all trip! Tough look for a G2 field.

When Sisterson said that on Fox I actually played some stuff with the 4. Not great!
I guess the KD money is having an effect on that race?
