I think deep down Royal Delta is just as talented as the others.... probably needed her last, and should offer value. She should be a-okay with the 10f distance too. Great race.

Nor did I.

What the heck happened to Inglorious? She didn't fire at all.

Perhaps she is a synthetic horse. 5 for 5 at Woodbine. 0 for 3 anywhere else.

Since we're redboarding, $13 was absolutely insane for Royal Delta.

It seems that whenever a big deal is made about a horse getting hot in the post parade on national t.v. the horse goes on and wins or runs incredibly well.

How a horse looks prerace will never bother me again after DaTara looked like walking death pre 2008-Belmont, washier than any horse I'd ever seen...

Was in races in Singapore last year where the humidity is ludicrously high and almost every horse out there has a good lather going. I'm beginning to think now that it is just more natural than anything, and only becomes an issue if its quite cool out and horse is still lathered.

One thing I've always liked to believe is that it helps to know the history of the horse in question. What you might see as a question mark, something like being washy or antsy or balking going into the gate, might be quite normal for that horse and no need for concern. To me, it's no different than knowing trainer patterns. A horse working a 58 4/5 for one trainer might cause you to really open your eyes but if you see a Baffert horse do it, it's kinda ho-hum.

Agree which is why it boogles my mind that tracks actually pay people to tell you how a horse looks and is behaving. That money could be better used on some track improvements or something worthwhile like TB retirement or helping backstretch workers.

then there's when they go on and on about how good a horse looks, and they run up the track.
