Yes she remains perfect but I thought I saw a grinding effort in the stretch. Just because she won the race doesn't mean that she's not feeling effects from the race as of today.<br /><br />Too much too soon. There used to be a time when thoroughbreds would get a one turn sprint prep race before attempting two turns. Now it's all about "rest" then "instant gratification".<br /><br />Well because of that philosophy:<br />Now comes more rest.The_Knight_Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497100877439699363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-76803470725637678152010-03-14T10:35:33.564-04:002010-03-14T10:35:33.564-04:00Agree PTP, RA never looked settled, ears flopped o...Agree PTP, RA never looked settled, ears flopped out and Cal Bo with feet on the dashboard. On the other hand...Z looked like a great dane that just found a meaty bone buried in her back yard.

Zardans made a QUICK move and got the jump on Rachel and managed to hold it...this happens. I think either the jock blew the ride or he followed the pre-race instructions to the letter and figured when Rachel kicked it into another gear she would easily overcome the slight advantage held by Zardana turning for home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-54912389016414333932010-03-14T06:13:55.624-04:002010-03-14T06:13:55.624-04:00Kiss the match up at Oaklawn good bye.
