That's some field for 750K.

The big-time distaffers waiting for the Lady's Secret next weekend.

Way too many tracks and not enough horses worth a damn.

and the horses who are worth a damn all need at least 6 weeks rest between starts.

and that is pushing it.

Sure is a thin field. I guess $750k doesn't buy you much anymore.

Life At Ten has won five in a row, but this will be her first try at a 1 1/4. Milwaukee Appeal has placed all three times she's gone the distance, but she's never won on dirt.

If anyone's interested...

Sey Spottsproof is probably the only one that can get the distance.

Annswer to Prayer, otherwise.

Life At Ten easy winner again. Two more stops in NY then on to the Distaff.

Is it me or is she gigantic?

I'm impressed. The division seems thin after the top 5. She certainly is leading in the east.

Maybe you meant gigantic as in "big horse". I watched again and she is bigger than the others but a few of them were close. During the stretch run when Singhsix got clear the winner looked much larger when comparing those two.

I have to agree, she really looked good. BTW, I thought Sir Whimsey look pretty good in the Carpenter.

Took me a second to figure out what looked so familiar about Life At Ten's female family. Her 3rd dam is half to Relaunch. Her dam's been sent to Peru, I think. If you've got a G1 producer sent to a foreign country before she hit pay dirt, do you try to get her back at 14 or is it bon voyage, and you worry about Life At Ten and her lesser achieving half sister as breeding prospects? The sis is only 4 though. From what I've seen so far of LAT, she's got time.

I didn't remember what she looked like from before, but the instant the Delaware started, it was clear who the star was and she looked the part the whole way 'round. Ginormous is the only guess I have as to her height. Do we know how tall? Can't imagine she'd be as big as Zenyatta is physically (how often do we see anybody that is?) but I have no idea.
