Oh, Please with the measured wins! Is the jock going to risk an 18-0 record on a win by a nose or maybe a head? --No way! I can see shutting a big winner down, but she was all out to win at the wire.
She\'s a big horse with a long stride and the extra furlong (and a half) will be in her favor, but the tighter turns, the extra year in age, and the competition are all big threats to her hegemony.
As I said a long time ago, my only fear in trying to beat her is that Blame, QR, and Lucky run off form. If any of those three fire a top effort, she will have evaporated a myth in one race. Big mistake to put it all on the line.
I will use QR, Blame, Lucky and maybe Fly Down in first and second with perhaps Z and First Dude in third and fourth ($5 super). If I had to pick the trifecta cold, it would probably be LAL, QR, First Dude.
