Default If they're not writing races for your horse.......

So, you have a 4 year old filly, a maiden NY bred, turf runner. And she hasn't run since SAR. And you can't get a race for her. They're just not carding maiden NYBRed turf races at BEL (or AQU). What's left to do?

Enter her against the boys, of course


Which is precisely what L O'brien is doing with Optimistic Jordan.


And, thinking along: she's routing tomorrow, and will be sprinting next time out.

Someone should hand Leo a condition book. There are 6f NY bred MdSpWts on 5/11 and 5/26. 1 1/16 this past Sunday as well as 6/1 and 9f on 5/18. All on grass, can't imagine a) they won't fill or b) she has a bad date if she hasn't run since Saratoga.

I don't believe I've ever looked at a Belmont card and thought to myself, "there aren't enough NY-bred turf races today".

Actually, I did the other day.





Because I knew I would be at Churchill and not bet a dime on Belmont.
