I don't know if u caught it but on the other forum, I picked her to be in the top four for this race. She was easily the best closer in the field and it was going to set up perfectly for her. I agree with u that the best turf females this year were better than the best dirt ones and that's why I had suggested sending Wait a While to this race instead of the F/M Turf. I know she's proved to be much better on the grass than the dirt but I figured that some of that could be due to maturity and that if she was able to run at even 80% of what she does on grass, she'd have a good shot. If the Distaff had been 10f, I would have wanted Ouija Board there too.
