Default The Alabama - is there a prayer

of the tracking being fast for that race or do I need to wear a raincoat and galoshes just to watch it from my own home? I'm crossing my fingers because I hate big races being run on sloppy tracks and I don't think Music Note will handle it well, but that's all we seem to be getting at the Spa this year.

thanks!

Music Note also ran rather an ordinary race in the slop, but that was her debut, so perhaps you could chalk it up to her just needing a race. I guess we'll just have to wait and see - I hope it's fast (or good) so that we get a good, fair race.

It'll almost definitely be fast.

well, I asked for a fast track and got it, but Music Note just wasn't good enough today. I'm not happy with the glacial fractions Little Belle set and I think MN should have been much closer, but she had her chance and just couldn't get by Proud Spell.

that was racing at its best.
Gabriel Saez redeemed the victory and revenge on music note. Great ride and one helluva race

She's an A.P. Indy - why would you be worried about the mud?

Didn't Rags to Riches win the Kentucky Oaks in the mud? AP Indys should have no problem.
