Default Happy Ticket

Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on what I think is the best story in racing; a LA bred travelling to every major circuit in the country and burnin' up the track... I have been a Happy Ticket fan for the last year and a half and was disappointed, but not discouraged, with "my girl's" effort on Sunday. I think she is clearly the class of the filly/mare division and can't wait to see her on the first Saturday in November at Churchill...

A big fan as well. Still not sure why the connections decided to send her to California with the good money this time of the year in Saratoga, plus she is already proven at that track. Plus, with the breakdowns at DelMar I dont think I'd ship my horse there, but that is part of the game. I think she'll be very tough in the BC but I was very impressed with Spun Sugar's effort and Balletto seems to be rounding into form VERY nicely and could prove to be the best of them all. Still not ready to write off Oonagh Maccool and Summerly has room to improve. Looked nice her first time back. Should make for a great Distaff, that is for sure.

Balletto, in my opinion, is dying to run on two-turn tracks. She would be best served if they sent her to Keeneland for the Spinster as a prep for CD instead of racing her at Belmont.

I'm a big fan and she did not disgrace herself one iota in my estimation.
She's as game as they come.

She lost to a very nice and somewhat underated girl..... I doubt she loses again this year.

I like her too.

Happy Ticket is a very game filly but mark my words, if she stays healthy Balletto will be the BC Distaff champ!

I'm still trying to get the mount on Balletto.

Here's hoping we're still talking about the horse...
