Here's the horse who finished 2nd by 28.5 legnths in that Grade 1 race. She just finished a good 3rd at Del Mar in a $73,000 ALW race a few days ago:
 She's basically a solid 85 Beyer type on turf for a low percentage trainer. Interestingly, her sire was a plodding son of A. P Indy that Pletcher trained who HATED grass. The broodmare sire Stuka won the Santa Anita Handicap in 1994 via DQ of champion older male The Wicked North. He never raced on turf, but had a pedigree for it.

The best recent horse to come out of Chile was Lido Palace.
Here he is winning the first of his two Woodwards -- beating Tiznow and Albert The Great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzZmSndYUJY Here's Lido Palace's best losing effort. Finishing in a photo with Street Cry for 2nd in Left Bank's super fast Whitney Handicap win. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k73AXxl3eY That was Left Bank's last race, he dropped dead after it. He was probably the best performer Todd Pletcher has ever trained in his entire career.

What can you tell us about Quick Casablanca, the horse that ran second to her in her last race? I think there are a couple of grade one wins on her record since then too right?

Here's the video of that race: It's a 400K stake and South America's most important weight-for-age event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qa9gBUBESs

All of the signs are pointing to this Amani as being a serious race horse. I'm looking forward to seeing her more than the Whitney or Vanderbilt or any other race this weekend. The fact that she hasn't been out in such a long time plus the fake dirt reserves me just a little but I'm still anxious to see her.

Drysdale is generally a poor layoff trainer.
Also, the horse is running without lasix and giving a slight competitive advantage away for no reason. She has the most impressive South American form of any filly I've ever seen -- but I'll watch one. A. P. Indy was 5th at Woodbine in a racce dominated by two hapless Canadian horses when Drysdale brought him back from just a 3+ month layoff after winning the Belmont. He eventually rebounded and won Horse of the Year.

 We Can Seek was a fairly useful plodder for Mark Henning. He finished 4th in the Whitney Handicap won by Invasor -- ahead of a few good also-rans like Premium Tap and Flower Alley.
