Default Awesome Feather

Wow! Some performance off the layoff today. A mile in 1:33.2. I thought the BC was maybe a reach, but not now.

.63 seconds faster than legitimate high-priced optional claimers in the 8th. Would think she gets a Beyer between 100-103, but that's just a guess.

She was impressive, but that was a dreadful (and small) field behind her once Cash for Clunkers scratched. Luckily for her connections, she doesn't have much to beat in the Distaff division beyond It's Tricky and Royal Delta, but she'll likely have to beat a big field and work out a trip.

And Royal Delta is one of the most seriously overrated horses in recent memory.

I thought she was brilliant in her two Churchill starts. Outside of that, she's been nothing special.

Royal Delta is very good when she runs her very good races, her issue seems to be she isnt very good all the time. Her good races are outstanding. Look once they breed her to indian Charlie you will like her a lot more..lol

Actually if she only ran 4x or so, he'd tell us how she was phenomenal.

Sharp post Nicky! I do, at least, preface my enthusiasm for a horse by saying it's not going to stay sound for more than a few starts!
