I'm sure she's a lot more than a nose better than that rat she beat last time.

The point is that she ducked the Hollywood Gold Cup and her female stablemate Life Is Sweet was sent to get buried by Rail Trip.

She ducked the Pacific Classic to run against pure bums. At some point, you have to run in a race where you aren't a 1/5 favored cinch in a paid workout.

She's been 0.20-to-1 twice and 0.30-to-1 once in her three starts this year. At least they haven't entered her at Golden Gate yet I guess.

Bobby Frankel made a career in finding the right spot.

One thing is certain, RA winning made it a lock that she will be in the Distaff, no reason now to run in the Classic, especially if Tiago runs better at SA.
