I would certainly bet her back again. Thoughts?

The 91 Beyer figure from Champagne D' Oro's last race - her lone dirt race - was better than any number anyone in the field had ever run.
That figure came in a 6f MSW race - which she only won by a nose - which is why you got that 12/1 price on her.
I didn't think post 10 would be as big of an issue for her as with a normal horse because of how fast she is .. she ran a pace fig of 103 for a 1/4 and 101 for a half in the 6f race... that speed helps get some inside position without having to be used up to do so.
I think she proved today that she can stay 8.5 furlongs...but obviously the value won't be there next time like it was today... because in the eyes of a lot of bettors she will have answered the class and distance question with this race.
