Mike Welsch was on with me last bnight and had spoken at length with Calascibetta earlier in the day. The Test is a distinct possibility now. Look for the follow up from Welsch in DRF the next day or so. He says Joe is VERY excited now since the owners aren't going to be selling unless something ridiculous gets offered to them.

Ordinarily I would hope a filly of limited ability like this one stays where she is and runs where she can. But after reading these comments I would like to see her snapped up and see what Dutrow can do with her ASAP.

Oy vey... Utterly ridiculous comment. Limited ability? Have you even seen her run? How would you even remotely know how much ability she has? She ran a 91 Beyer Saturday in a common gallop. Never asked for run. She's staying with Calascibetta unless the already wealthy breeder/owner gets a completely stupid Darley-ish offer. In terms of ability, Mike Welsch sees her regularly in the morning and believes she has unlimited upside. I'll go with his view of her ability.

I'm pretty sure I've seen her every race. So you go for it. I'll go with MY view of her ability; she will NEVER beat Joanie's Catch.
