First of all, Rex Regina's biggest win came in wire-to-wire fashion. Now, I can't blame you for thinking she'll be a late runner in here based on the difference in pace.

The tracks that she won at in France are horrible. Not even close to upper tier. Some of the horses she faced last time are decent, but she wasn't really close to them at all.

Her trainer has lost 16 times with Euro imports and 11 of them were 8-1 or less. Mousse Au Chocolat is a great example of one of his failures, along with Germance, Grand Couturier, Missvinski, Just Little, and a few more.

She's going to take money because of the "fresh face" angle and the Euro form mystery and in all likelihood will go off much lower than she should.

Now, I will grant that she has a much better chance than the Pletcher horse who last-moved a collapsing pace while running down a lifetime claimer in her last start at Monmouth.
