How frustrating

two races in a row that Teammate has been reeled in by Pine Island............I'm also pretty satisfied, though. This may have been Teammate's best race, given that she showed an ability to rate and pounce........she just couldn't hold off a very good filly. Also, I guess she was just in bad form earlier at Belmont, since she didn't seem to have any problems today. I hope this girl is not pointed for the Breeder's Cup - she could win another graded stakes (without Pine Island) if she keeps running like this. Good job by Jerkens getting this filly back to her best form. I'm surprised.

Pine Island is just gorgeous. Fires everytime. Has never gone backwards on the sheets. What a great filly.

Right now, I'm too frustrated to think about Pine Island, lol. I can't complain, though. All you can hope for is that your horse run his or her best.......and that's what Teammate did. She's been showing some moxie lately.....something I didn't think she had. At least that was a satisfying effort -Bushfire didn't show anything today.

i was hollering grind away at pine island, and she did. she's fun to watch, and i'm thrilled at her progression...i pointed at her going past the wire and told my daughter 'there's your distaff winner'.

I like Pine Island but she looks like an anteater when she runs.

Teammate ran great. That pace was pretty quick too. If she would have been another 2-3 lengths further back, she might have been able to hold off Pine Island. As it was she tried to fight back, but she didn't have quite enough left after being a little too close to that failry hot pace. If Bushfire was not in the race, Teammate would have had an easy lead in :47 3/5 or so. I think she would have had a good chance of holding off Pine Island.

Exactly. Its all about the field. Pine Island benifitted greatly having Bushfire and Teammate running tough fractions. Without Bushfire, who knows.
