Default CD R9: I just don't get this move

Kiaran is one of the sharpest trainers out there but I just don't get why he's running Genuine Devotion 8F at CD. It's doubtful that she's much more than a 6F turfer (and a good one at that), though her last race wasn't as impressive as I would want. How exactly does she navigate 8F tomorrow? Does she outsprint the one dimensional Bayou's Lassie? I imagine she's faster. Are we counting on a speed bias down there?

Interesting move.

Guess he didn't learn from Penna's mistake with English Colony.

Would've loved to have seen her against First Defence a few weeks ago.

This is one of my favorite horses so I'd love to see her be equally as good routing as she is sprinting. But, having seen her run, I don't believe she can carry it beyond 6 or 7F.

We'll see today.

Doesn't bother me none. I've made some serious money with this filly and didn't really have an(other) opinion and thus passed the race.

Of course, it'd be nice to look into whether that speed bias on the turf is still going strong down there.

I am still trying to understand how you look at a ROG offspring as capable of turf "sprint" only??
