Another big field for Grade II race.

Seattle Smooth keeps scaring them off.

[ateamstupid]

That is a bad group to say the least.

[NTamm1215]

There are very few good older fillies and mares on the east coast right now, that's not a revelation.

Would Rachel Alexandra, Unrivaled Belle, and Zardana made this a more interesting race? Sure, but the over-saturation of stakes during the time between the Derby and Belmont destroys races with smaller purses.

Be prepared for a small field in the Vagrancy in a couple of weeks and the Sheepshead Bay will probably be a bunch of glorified allowance horses given the 4 G2/G3 races for older fillies and mares on turf between 4/10 and 6/5.

I don't get it from an owner's standpoint. If you have a decent allowance filly (like say, D'wild Ride in today's 8th at BEL), why on earth wouldn't you try a race like this? Even if Seattle Smooth fires, it'll take maybe a 90 Beyer to run second and pick up $30,000 and black type. There aren't any fillies out there that ran run a 90 Beyer for $30,000 and black type? I'm not asking for superstars, just a deeper field.

You are 1000% right

I completely agree with you.

Too bad Careless Jewel got injured.

[Indian Charlie]

I like Seattle Smooth. I think she's an underrated horse, though she does have problems.

Hey Scuds, what's the psychobabble term to describe what I just did? Saying I like something but I'm throwing in a way out just in case she loses?

[Indian Charlie]

Also Scuds, whats the term for how I just made fun of myself for giving myself an escape?

[ironprospect]

I've been waiting for Careless Jewel myself .

Missing both of these races she's been pointed to has been a bitter disappointment, especially at Churchill, where her price would have been nice.

I only hope it's just a little heat and the xrays are clear and the barn is being cautious as they should.

She's been killing the clock in the mornings and I really think she's the next big thing(east of Santa Anita)
