YouBet says "Fast" and "Good".

I have no video to see what the Tampa feed says.

Going to watch the replay but I think she ran well RBE. Got a really wide trip but finished game.

Thanks, I'm thrilled with the effort. Both horses that beat us were dropping down substantially and the 11 hole going 6F with a horse that prefers a little extra distance was a lot to ask. Rosemary said she was very impressed with her, that she broke like a shot and ran very evenly on the bit, rolled when asked and has a nice move to her....Once again we ran into a very quick pace (22.2/45.1/57.4/1:11.1) and had a bit of a wide trip (most likely as a result of the post).
Hope we can convince her to ride for us again, she is clearly the best jock at Tampa IMO, and even though she had a ton of mounts today she rode like she wanted to win and never gave up on the horse. Most anyone else in the jock colony here would phone a 12-1 in after taking 7 or 8 mounts previously on the card. She's a class act all the way.

Word on the street is that the 7 is going to the breeding shed, so you won't be getting that quick pace next out.

Nice run by your girl.

Better post and a shorter trip and she will be right there. The winner got a great trip that race.

Thanks Bigs - was hoping the 7 would run back to the form of her last race and we could sit off the 4 till she faded, hoping to have enough run to hold off the 2..Just couldn't get enough jump from the 11th post to save ground and had a wide trip the whole way...impressed with her stretch run, hopefully the new book will have something little more to her liking distance wise - any word on LS?

He's still on the farm, responding well and should be back to the track in a week or two.

WTF happened to your City boys yesterday? If you don't watch out, you may still lose our bet.....the Spurs are coming (and picked up a little silverware on the way)....

Sorry MIke,
I missed this yesterday. Kickin my rear in public now eh
Looks like Tampa is a no for this meet. We will be at Keeneland for the Blue Grass week-end though. Spurs did indeed pick up a little silverware, sort of
