I don't think Vacare's handy defeat today had to do with Clement's training job but more that she is probably a nifty GII/GIII type horse. The Magna Distaff became the ultimate negative key race as numerous horses out of it came back to tank. Vacare was also up against the pace scenario today but had no punch when push came to shove. If they keep her out there for the CashCall Mile, as the owner did not deny their potential interest in doing that, you may see a different horse, but undoubtedly the queen of the turf on the West Coast right now is Citronnade.
I'm not going to begrudge Citronnade for always catching paceless races. She was nearly confronted by a very nice horse today and still dug in and held her off.
