What did Martin Garcia do other than manage to not fall off of a horse?
I'd say it was a pretty typical week for him in that regard. Edgar Prado actually had a brilliant ride to upset the F and M Turf. |

Plumania heads my worst list, unless she bled or tied up in the race, that was a pretty dreadful performance Fri.

She was like 8-1. Harmonious was horrible and bet hard, tvg guys singled her in the pick 4. Um Winter Memories was also pretty flat IMO.

By the way - Rachel Alexandra made two starts at Churchill this year - Unrivaled Belle edged her by a head in the first ... that race was her 2nd start off of the layoff, she carried 4 pounds more than UB that day.. I realize almost insignifcant factors - but the margin was just a head and the final time was great.
In RA's other start at Churchill - she won a 9f stakes by 11 lengths - her final time was slightly faster than Blame's in the Stephen Foster at the same distance on that same card. She won the Ky Oaks by 20 lengths over this track the year prior with Hal Wiggins training her ... and they retire sound? |
