carry forward looking looks race
She's really flourishing. She'll have to carry a lot of weight. It looks like a speed-laden race, but we're looking forward to it.
horse hurdle passed though
She's really flourishing. She's a young horse and has passed hurdle after hurdle. This is going to be a big challenge, even though it will be her backyard.
bias california deep extremely fall favorites horses last number recall run shipped speed track worried
That track always had a speed bias but last fall they made it extremely deep and I don't recall it being that way before. A number of horses that shipped in from California and were odds-on favorites didn't run a jump. That worried me.
break ran run second
If she ran in the Distaff, she would have to run second just to break even.
decent racing surface top
She's back at the top of her game. She's back on a decent racing surface and she couldn't be doing any better.
afraid early forward hindsight lately leads left looking might route since switched test trained york
I'm not afraid to route this filly. If I had left her in New York after the Test to get acclimated to Belmont, she might have won, since she switched leads too early on that big turn, but hindsight is 20/20. Anyway, she's never trained as well as she has lately and we're really looking forward to this race.
airplane finally fly jump
We finally don't have to jump on an airplane and fly 3,000 miles.
forget
To have thought that she would do what she has done, forget about it.
