You notice he didn't have published recent works for her here. His comment the other day was that she was doing great and "She loves that track over there (HWD PARK.")...... We'll see, but they said she seemed fine after the race. I think she's had enough of this place. She doesn't like it.

Isn't that sort of bizarre, given how she travels? I hope it is the track, but the time off makes me wonder.

Got to give credit where due to Zazu and Ultra Blend. Fine performances by both.

Blind Luck ran a compete and utter non-effort. A performance like that has nothing to do with the track.

Agreed. I think the fact she missed her start after the Delaware Handicap was very telling.

Yup... writing was on the wall in August. Hope she bounces back, but awfully tough with zero meaningful efforts since July to compete in the BC.

What are the odds that Creative Cause will be sold to Godolphin or Darley by the end of the week, shipped to Dubai and never seen again?
