9/22 (PRX): PA Derby, Cotillion (G1's), Gallant Bob, Alphabet Soup

Does anyone think Dixie Strike has a chance in the Cotillion? 1 for 1 on dirt...

How is the filly race a G1 and the derby a G2?

I guess because it consistently draws MUCH more accomplished horses.

We think she does, dirt I think is her favorite surface but she is able to handle turf and synthetics. That being said we know this is a very very very to assignment ahead of her. I would love to see the race set up this way MMA go after Questing out of the gate and those two hook up early and often then I am still not sure we could get by both of them, it doesn't hurt any that we have Dominquez aboard. Hey we had to take a shot when we found out there were only 3 others in the race can you blame us.

I wouldn't be going out of my way to run against Questing either, but this is a new low. Four horses for $1M.

it's crazy.
some complain that purses aren't big enough.. then a big purse comes along, and you can't get entrants. doesn't make sense, especially when it comes to fillies. hell, fourth here pays more than first does in many other races.

I thought Dixie Strike ran well considering the slow as hell pace.

Macho Macho just ran the most bizarre race I've ever seen a horse run

He did the same exact thing two starts back.

Watch form 1:15 through the wire.
