Pretty impressive last figure from the filly, and no one seems to be talking about her. She obviously has her issues, and she is probably a bet-against on sheet theory, but she will have had 6+ weeks of rest, and only Royal Delta has run faster than she has.
JB himself said at a seminar on Labor Day Weekend that if he managed RD, he would skip the Beldame and point right to the Distaff/Classic. Well, Mott didn\'t skip the Beldame, RD ran big, and might be ready to regress (and she may yet run in the Classic).
In this loaded field, Awesome Feather could go to the post as the 3rd or 4th choice. Not bad for a filly that could bounce, and still win....
