That's exactly the point, HOSS. This filly had always gotten the poorer trip because she was either outside or routing. But she always tried and, in most of these races, just fell short. Of course, another interpretation would be that she's a hanger and not much.
Breaking from the rail she figured to sit and finally get a decent trip. Guess Fiona Freud didn't appreciate having to do the work Sun as much as she appreciated sitting the trip the time before.
For whatever reason she's become sort of a secondary 'pet' to me. She's in the same barn as my primary pet, Sky Dragon, another renowned hanger, who has finally put it together (somewhat) after one torturous beat after another. Perhaps much of that has to do with the fact that he doesn't like getting sticked and the trainer has obviously realized this (a year after I did, unfortunately) and instructed Maragh as such, given the way he's been ridden his 2 times out this year. Took a while but I finally got in the black with him.
