The problem with that pick is visually and figure wise that race came up unbearably slow. For a juvy filly fig winner it is probably 10-15 Beyer points off par for the race.

I'll take this to mean you'll be against Ria Antonia when she attempts to take on the colts as was reported after the race...owner said goal was first SATURDAY in may.

Worth noting that I read where Englehart wanted to take the POS path to May.

Either owner or trainer aren't on the same page or someone needs to let them know that the POS route won't get them into the derby.

Maybe she improves a lot between now and then...who knows. Happy for the connections, but doesn't change that the race was unimpressive.

I'm assuming Englehart will layout potential plans on ATR which I haven't listened to yet...

Ria Antonia is far more likely to never win any race again than she is to earn a single qualifying point for the Derby.

More than a couple of clockers thought she was training very well coming into the race

That may be true but that doesn't mean she has a prayer at being a serious Derby contender.

Did they also have advanced information that an 81 Beyer would be good enough for a victory?
