Not so sure Indian Tale would be able to go if this race were rained off. . . Dutrow's handling of her was a litttle ridiculous.

Speaking of ridiculous, I read somewhere Shug is pretty confident with Hungry Island against The Queen. I think is was something to the effect of "She will know we are there"

Ok, Shug

Going with Its Tricky in a tight one over St. Johns. Don't like Royal Delta or Inglorious much. Plum Pretty scares me but not a lot. She gave no indication against either of the top two that results would be different with more distance.

I think deep down Royal Delta is just as talented as the others.... probably needed her last, and should offer value. She should be a-okay with the 10f distance too. Great race.

Do you mind if I wait till she croses the finish line?

Cheers to all who had the winner. I sure as hell didn't.

count how many hosses that Hungry Island passes in every race she ran.....that's what you love to see. Not 2 or 3, but 5 or 6 hosses minimum in every race. She loves to pass, and no one passes her. The best is yet to come.

It's like that argument that Zenyatta's closing style somehow made her a better horse.

I would never say that it made her a better horse, but closers who win are more fun to watch.
