I seem to recall discussion that the rail on BC Day 2001 was not the place to be either, and that's where was the entire way.

I like it. Only loses when she's odds-on. What did the exacta pay in those races?

Acorn: $40

Monmouth Oaks: $17


I think Obrien ran her back way too quick in the Monmouth race, she was coming in on short rest after a long battle with Escena.. it's the only race where she really didn't show a whole lot of fight.

Not sure.. it's possible they weren't thrilled with the idea of taking on My Flag at 10F.... At the time, My Flag was the leader of the division..

By the way, now that we have Excellent Meeting's pps up there, what kind of torrid rivalry would we have had if she and Silverbulletday locked horns at Santa Anita during the winter of '99?

Their 2 meetings as 2yos were a good indication.

It would have been a great rivalry ... but I think SBD was just plain better and obviously had much better tactical speed.
