Yeah, just thought of that. But, that track is kind of ridiculous.

Kind of is being nice. I can't believe Joyful victory was second. she stinks.

Or maybe the track is playing with an east coast bias.

It's nice to see the Disease of Grab isn't exclusive to the East Coast jockey colony. Some display of ( lack of ) speed out there today.

The irony, however, of an East Coast filly defeating Include Me Out shouldn't be lost.

I agree about the grabbing. I think the fractions influenced the results more than any track bias.

If she had went out it 46 and drew away I might agree with the track bias thing
but, Love and Pride got a pretty easy lead.

I expect the track to be very fast and speed favoring for the BC, since tracks like SA seem to be believe ultra fast times makes the horses and races look better from quality and historical perspective.

Even though she did lose to the 2 east coast runners, I do believe she is disrespected. But not from east coast bias, it's the Ron Ellis bias, If Baffert, Sadler, or Hollendorfer had her she would probably be more respected. Just my opinion.
