Wow, that was a very poor performance. Never made the lead despite crazy slow fractions and was still done after a half. Finished last by a pole. I hope she is ok physically.

"Never made the lead"? You don't think ridiculous Chavez taking hold of her had anything to do with that do you?

A complete wasted start thanks to Chavez. The expirement was to get the lead while stretching out and this guy decides he's going to try and rate. We know she can't rate.

You may run out of jockeys soon...

Might be time to try a female, they might listen to the instructions.

I will have to watch the race again but it looked to me as if Chavez sent her but she wasn't quick enough to beat the one to the rail. She was in the clear after that with no traffic to speak of and still was finished at the half. She may have gotten poor rides in her last two starts (certainly true last time) but she did absolutely no running in either.

She got me to the winners cicrle at Saratoga and thus will always be a favorite of mine. I hope that she gets back to that point again where she is competitive.

Might as well drop a bug on her.
If they arent going to follow instruction, drop weight and give a kid a shot. She looked settled and was running nicely for a half a mile. Didnt it look like she was running well within herself I thought she was going to win?

Default Its such a tough game

Even if you can win at a nice 20% clip it means you lose 8 out of 10 times. Thought the same thing with the pedestrian fractrions....
Might want to ship to Chuck at Phila and drop her and run for a 20k purse going 2 turns with Flores.....

Hope she is ok.
I still haven't gotten over Target's last run a few weeks ago. It is true that you have to really enjoy the wins when they come.

She has shown she needs to be in front. That was the only thing that Chavez was told. Get the lead. Not see how she breaks and find a spot. Not sit comfortably off the lead. Get her to the front. She can go the opening quarter in :22 and change for Crist sake. He wasn't asked to make any decisions. Utterly frustrating. We learned NOTHING. If she was going to get beat, let her get beat trying to do something new. We know if rated she'll stop. I agree with you about the bug. Had wanted Pedroza but he rode the 3 back.

Did Chavez offer any explanations as to why he didn't follow instructions?

He said he thought she was comfortable sitting outside stalking so he didn't press for the lead.
