UH won vs a bunch of maidens in an easy lead. I don't CARE what they came back to do. In the only UH race they didn't participate in the dynamics. They were irrelevent. It doesn't matter if they won the ARC or went 0-for 50, in the maiden race they played no part of opposition.

"Today", Unbridled's Heart faces Allowance/3yoUngraded Stakes level animals. He also face Mint Lane, a comparable pace factor, and Pascal - an opportunist who will participate in the pace if at all possible.

The most interesting thing about this race is probably how well UH rates behind and just outside of Mint Lane before drawing off to win.

The race I watched , UH went to an easy lead and the others never factored. Did you see something else?

You oversimplify to the point of marginalizing everything that is important.

Fair enough. I have that problem sometimes.

Hopefully Unbridled's Heart runs a big race and adds some spice to the 3yo.
