It is certainly difficult envisioning a scenario where she can win. I'd honestly have a really hard time betting her to beat War Story or Gunnereva.

I would happily take a price on either or both of those.

Can't tell if you liked her or didn't with this post?

Not that my comment wasn't sort of self evident, but my response meant I would take a price, in other words odds of better than even money, that she would finish ahead of each horse individually. She beat one and lost to the other, so if I took a price on each bet, I would have made money. Off course she would have finished third, and well ahead of both, if Toast of New York hadn't backed right into her on the turn. You can see it on the head on ( and it's sort of obvious if you look at the chicklets though they are off the screen on the pan ).

Yeah it is hard to tell with the chicklets...I finally watched the head-on replay. I personally didn't like the way they had her so far back even before TONY threw in the towel. She did run respectable, especially at those odds.

Unless Gun Runner has a crap day, which is unlikely as his training suggests, they are all running for second. Id be very surprised if Steller Wind gets in superfecta against these horses. Seems way over matched here.

Ill bet West Coast. He is probably not good enough, but he's the one who can still move forward IMO.

I think her best races are good enough and first-time Chad does not suck. She is an excellent horse on her best day, sure Gun Runner is way the horse to beat but of the rest, I would take a shot with her at 25/1 before Collected at 7/1.
