Sidney's Candy?

[Pedigree Ann]

Macias, who is a quite good turf sprinter, went with Sid for 6f (in sub 1:09 - I forget the exact time and the chart isn't up yet) and dropped out to finish essentially eased. Meanwhile Sid kept on going to set a new track record for 1 1/16 of 1:39 and some. And the track wasn't especially fast today - good allowance fillies ran a mile in 1:35.27, which is about right for the level.

True, this was just a bunch of promising 3yos - Kid Edward, in particular, should be a good one in longer races - but it was the way he won that has some of us dazed and amazed.

You really that amazed? The trainer lost at odds on, and packed the wagon full of powder. Doug O'neil's having a big meet. That's like a huge sign that testing is lax down there right now.

Didn't they say that O'neil tried to bring a cripple back in a week? It broke down this week (after pulling up bad last week.) It's like he knows anything goes down there right now. Wants to run them while they have lax testing.
