I have a totally different take on it. I don't think Angara is nearly the same filly that she used to be. she doesn't move nearly as well as she used to coming down the stretch. I thought she was a very good filly at one time last year, but Biancone pretty much ran her into the ground by running her way too much. I think the race today ended up playing very weak. I don't think anybody ran well. I don't think Angara ran anything close to her best today. She beat Argentina by a nose. Argentina hasn't run a good race in this country. she is now 0 for 5 in this country. If a filly like Shining Energy(at her best) was in that race today, I think she would have won by open lengths.
