I think Aldeb got 5th, not sure. She looked Ok coming around the turn, I liked the way she split horses to not get fanned out too wide, but maybe the rail was not the place to be. The winner circled the field to win, ovbviously, she was much the best. At the start Aldeb looked like she veered out a bit to the right, got squeezed by the 10 hopped to the left and jostled the 8 horse.

Look forward to hearing what Chuck has to say

She finished 5th. She appeared to be a bit unsettled down the backstretch. Very interested to hear the post race comments.

I think she was trying to run away with the kid a bit early on and he checked her back out and wider to keep her from running up on heels. That definitely took some of her momentum and allowed the chalk to range up to her outside.

Spoke to Chuck.. Appears to have come out fine. Arroyo said she was a little bothered by the mud from the three pacesetters early but then settled and got back on the bit. He thought they were in good shape off the turn when he moved toward the inside. He knew the winner was going to run off, but he thought at the quarter pole he had a shot for 2nd. But has been said by some of her other riders, she seems unwilling to put out and really try.

Arroyo said she felt fine and he'd ride her again happily, but that when he asked she refused to offer additional effort. Her knees have continued to bother her, and she may just be unwilling to try hard enough to contend. There's really no other explanation. It has been a very frustrating go with her having shown that she had talent early on.

Sorry guys, another poor effort. Hard to find anything positive from that. She seems to have little interest in racing. This game can be humbling.
