come on now, the 3 horse? absolutely the worst horse in the race. cant run anywhere near 25,000 claimers, today hes full of run, they don\'t drug horses.

[P-Dub]

Do you mean the 11th race?

[shanahan]

must have.  In the 9th, I\'m all over the 3.  Certainly can\'t find any reason save for one in the 11th to have him - owner/trainer, 3rd off layoff.

[cubfan0316]

correct 11th

Last race was a toss at 5 1/2.  Horse had solid numbers to run back to, at this condition and distance.  I\'ve lost money on worse.

My Friend Frank Won the Woodbine Contest betting on the 3 in the 11th race. I finished 6th. She had solid back route numbers and was 27 to 1. Race shapes put her in the 1st flight and inside which was king at the Spa for 3 days on the grass. It was a nice score to say the least...RC

If you watch the two one mile races on grass before this one, the last at GP and the previous at MTH on 7/4/12, you will see that she was posted wide and 3 wide on both turns with lots of pace. The figures from those races were competitive, even though she was not perservered with late in either race. Also these peak efforts came after 2nd of layoff. The watch her come back race at BEL at 7f. She ran a 10 w/o room or being urged in the stretch. Then one more sprint and then the sharp work. The way the turf was playing and the inside post(for a change) meant that she would have conditions all in her favor,whereas before she was up against it.
