the one HUGE benefit from today is that a better jock might want to ride next time with this performance. If we get Raffie, Mena, or Guid, picture is getting taken, they would have went 47/3 and had a stalking trip and shot the rail like the 2 and won for fun....
It seemed to me the track was playing pretty fast yesterday. She wasn't forced at all by Martinez running those fractions. She handled those fractions just fine. If she finished 10 lengths back setting those fractions I think you'd have a point. I can't be too critical of that ride...she got an easy lead and seemed relaxed to me. That's pretty much what you want form a horse with some natural speed in her.
