On a side note, does anyone ever remember Pletcher sending out a runner that is so hopelessly overmatched (not including the owner-choice Kentucky Derby runners?)

I think so, i think Music Note is overrated had dead aim on Proud Spell and could not beat her....

Why are you totally tossing out the distance, that is Music Notes best, not Proud Spells, and Proud Spell still beat her.

Feels like an owner's call.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Awesome I Am fares. Obviously she's highly unlikely to win but I think she is very much the second best horse in the race and could have a decent future.

Music Note does not prefer 1 1/4, are you serious ?
she ran her career best race at 1 1/4
proud spell had never run the distance, and still beat her...
as well as music note being bred to go 1 1/4

That has to be it. Maybe he figures she could clunk up for 3rd or something... or maybe the racing office begged him to get a 5th in there to offer tri's.

He is the owner, which is the strangest thing. I agree on Awesome I Am though, ice cold $8 exacta coming up...

Maybe, because Country Star will get a little bit of play. Not much more than that. There's only 20 possible exactas in a 5 horse field and Music Note will be included in 95% of the money on them.

Here's a hint.....it's the same one that trained her half sister Plenty.

This futile discussion Hoss is having with HRfan can only be a prep for either his trip to Mass or his teeth pulling extravaganza.
