Informed Decision goes two-turns on Tuesday

[Sightseek]

6 scratches and Informed Decision crawls wire to wire to win over Hooh Why. I wonder where she goes from here?

Why does she need to be retired?

Shes a former champion who is barley beating GARBAGE. If she rolled tonight, I could have saw them trying the Personal Ensign. Like Doug said she is bred to go long, but tonight does not make me feel confident about her moving forward. Her Arlington race also was nothing special, and the race before was just OK.

Tough crowd.

She hasn't been as fast in some of the same races as she was last year -- but she's still winning Stakes.

Some people enjoy campaigning their horses for the sake of sport, not to maintain some win/loss record.

I hope she runs in the Ballerina.

Why NT, so you can crush her to win?

It's hard to "roll" a field when you go that extremely slow early - especially on a synthetic surface. Even on dirt it isn't easy.

Look at Quality Road's comeback race this year in the Hal's Hope. He rated so kindly on the lead through a 25.15 first quarter (Maiden fillies going the same distance on dirt that day went a 24.41 first quarter and 3 of them were within a neck of each other through that 1st quarter)

The result was Quality Road beating bums like You and I Forever and Congressional Page by less than 3 lengths in the Hal's Hope - and running a mere 103 Beyer figure.
