It really depends on who trains them. I predicted this horse was a disasterous buy when she sold.

Another in a long list of horses purchased from Contessa off a huge Aqueduct inner race that will likely never run back to that huge effort

Run back on Saturday in the Grade 1 Las Virgenes(?). She will undoubtly be favored against this group with the trainer name change and could be a great bet against. (first time synth, lots of traveling, crazy track issues)

Her lack of talent could be a problem as well. I have no idea who she's running against, and maybe they all suck, and she is loose, but she aint much horse.

Grace Anatomy and Tasha's Miracle are two BC horses that are running in the race.

I agree, but just wanted to throw it out there for sake of argument since this horse was big conversation starter

This is horrible but unfortunately, this is the way the game goes today. There will always be a grade one race out there that's nothing more than allowance level quality and horses that have no business with the title of grade one winner.....become just that.

I guess the past winners of this race reads very well but has it been a Grade 1 quality race in recent years?

On the other hand, as you basically said, do we ever have this anymore outside of the BC?
