The NYRA Rewards tip sheet picked the trifecta (5-15-10) cold in the opener today. Pretty impressive in a 23-horse field.

that sucks. really like that horse esp after Arlington but maybe she is just in over her head a little in Grp 1 in Eur. didn't like treve b/c of the ground just picked wrong horse. isnt Fugue the horse that got shafted in BC when she got shut off in the stretch???

Yes, that was in the 2012 edition. Last year she got nailed late by Magician in the BC after racing wide throughout...Ground was very hard. Commentators mentioned that Treve looked a bit short in her stride in her warm ups. Dank as mentioned in a previous post, had no visible excuse...
