Doesn't matter if u are on the rail or 20-wide. And she ran her final eighth in 12.85 seconds. I'm sorry but that's not moving fast at all. Especially in a race as short as 8f. The reason it appeared she was moving so fast is because the others were slowing down much faster than she was. She wasn't moving fast. If Baroness Thatcher and Runway Rosie had been ANY kind of horse, Rags finishes third in this race. It would have been a decent third considering the trip but still third. Because those other two are nothing and gave it up like $2 whores, Rags' race is being looked at like some kind of super-human (or is it super-horseman?) effort, all perspective is being lost, and she's going to be 1/5 next out. I'll pass.

So, you think she has SOME talent, and is improving? Gee what an astute observation given that she won a GR1 in her third start.
You have gone to new heights this time. Nobody told you to bet the horse next time at 1 to 5, so pass if you like it really doesn't matter. All people are talking about is what this filly did in her third start and first time around two turns.
You make a habit to come in a try to pour cold water on anybody getting excited about a horse and to me the act is very old now.
You called Baroness Thatcher and Runway Rosie nothings. You call the other 3 yo's pathethic? Why can't you just enjoy what these horse ARE, and stop bashing every other horse because they don't live up to your standards for what they should be?
So what that some people thought Rags To Riches ran such a good race? why does that compel you to come on and shoot down the performance with your fractional time analysis. She beat everyone in the field on Saturday, wasn't that good enough?
My own opinion? I was impressed. I thought she beat a pretty deep field of fillies while giving away a lot of experience and while racing very wide. My pick was Runway Rosie so I lost on the race but I couldn't believe how Rags To Riches kept on coming.
