She galloped on an easy lead and the first half was real slow but 91 for her and the place horse is awful low historically.

I don't much about figs but it just seemed a bit light..What do I know?

It's pretty much the same number Lear's Princess earned in both her turf starts.

WTF?

Here's an idea......drop it. It's a meaningless conversation even if you knew what you were talking about......and you don't.

There's nothing to defend one way or another. It's an inane conversation. You're trying to split hairs on turf figs, which are essentially meaningless, and you have absolutely no understanding of them anyway.

We all know Lear's Princess is a nice horse who ran a solid race off the layoff. Whether she ran a 90, 95, or 100 you are still going to consider her a serious threat wherever she runs next. As for Dreaming of Anna, she's a nice horse, no worldbeater, but if she can set her own pace, against modest competition, she is usually dangerous. Would you feel differently about her if she ran a 98?

I know they are basically meaningless and said as much..

I just thought 91 was weird looking.

I agree 100% with your assessment of DoA and the other mare. both are very good at doing what they can do.
