This filly was Hip #64 at the Barrett's March sale. If you watch her work at the sale, you see that she didn't even start trying until the jock hit her halfway through the work. Right when the jock hit her, she really accelerated. She worked :10 1/5 and she wasn't even all-out the first part. She would have worked :9 4/5 or :10 if she would have been trying the whole time.
It's a shame they didn't have her cranked up first-time out. I bet her that day at 12-1. I could have made some real money that day if she would have won. I thought she was a cinch today but the price ended up being terrible. I'm lucky I bet with about 3 minutes to post while she was 6-5 or 7-5. I bet $750 to win on her thinking that I was going to get 7-5. If I would have know that I was only going to get $3.50 to win, I probably wouldn't have even bet her.
That had to be alot of inside money on her becuase you don't see horses go from 7-5 to 3-5 in the last 4 minutes very often.
