I spent a lot of time on these races last night. The final three are interesting but how come only six, and two of them are hopeless, showed up for the La Prevoyante? It is worth $200K.

Good Question. Is Magnificent Song, Lady Of Venice, Precious Kitten (and the entire field she beat) all on layup?

[blackthroatedwind]

Probably. They are 3YOs. Biancone is in California, and considering Lady of Venice missed the QEII I would be surprised if we see her before the spring or summer. Magnificent Song has built a fraudulent rep and I would not be surprised if she retired, to maybe be bred and sold, as her value has most likely peaked with a win in that phony Grade 1 the Garden City.

Precious Kitten is Frankel so he is probably busy mapping out her four race campaign for next year. She's actually pretty good...and improving.

I think Frankel is just waiting to hear what Dixie says.
