Is this too much to ask...
 

... from a horse OR is this what racing should be like... where they actually run a lot?

Her name is Mess in a Dress and she's raced 5 times this month:

Thoughts?

It's hard to determine by just looking at her running lines. It's appears the mare enjoys her job. She's popular in the claiming box which is the only thing that makes me nervous. Hate seeing them constantly running for a tag but that's just where she belongs and other trainers are willing to dip in for her. Look at her win last week. She just ran along but each split slower than the last. She's just running where she fits and is successfully doing it.
