If you think Capote Belle was good, and she was, what about Danseuse who drowned her in their respective debuts and went on to run, unfortunately, only once more?

That was a true shame. She was crazy good.

Ruffian and Crimson Saint are from the same family with a nexus of Cherokee Rose.

I didn't see their debuts... what happened to her where she only went on to run once more?

Was it only once more? I remember she won easily in her first two starts, then something went wrong... Maybe im thinking of the wrong horse, but I seem to remember her coming back at some point and running pretty poorly after that.

No...I am fairly certain she only made two starts. Considering her trainer, Mark Hennig, that's a lot of wins.

You are right. Capote Belle was bet to 6/5 against her in that debut---do you remember what Danseuse went off at?

I think she was a good price. Like 8-1 or something like that because Hennig has such a poor rep with 1sters.

The amazing thing was she paid, I think, 5-2. There is a chance she was as high as 4-1 but she was bet like IRON into Capote Belle.

Santos rode her and Drew ( who had his book then ) told me she was VERY good but we were all rightfully afraid of Capote Belle. They had comparable trips, though for some reason I think Danseuse's was tougher, and she drowned her ( like 2 1/2 lengths pretty easily ).

Anyone remember a filly McGaughey trained sometime in the early 90's named Grand Gala? I think McGaughey trained her. If memory serves me right, she raced down at Gulfstream.

Thats her. recently deceased Dragon owned her. She was sensational in her brief career, as much raw talent as i ever saw from a filly. Thats one I'd really to have loved to have seen raced more. The fast ones always get hurt, the slow ones never run fast enough to do any damage.

Sweep Dreams might be her foal. Probably would have been bred by December Hill Farm...owned by the late Alan Dragone.
