I think she's more likely to lose at 9f on dirt later in the spring than this one at 6.5 furlongs. I think she's plenty fast enough to run at this distance.

He said this race is to "get a race in her", don't think he cares if she wins, but she easily could win on class alone.

He also said don't leave his other horse off your Magna 5 ticket.

I think she's a big play without DOA and should be considered even with the Eclipse champ in there.

Honestly, I completely disagree with you about Dream Rush and really think you would benefit from watching this race over again ( probably a couple times ). While Dream Rush did get herself into a package, she also got clear with plenty of time available and simply did not have the run to win the race. Personally I think this is a textbook example of overblown phony trouble. She was absolutely clear BEFORE the eighth pole and gained virtually no ground on the winner from there to the wire.

Now, what is possible is that she is a one way speed horse, and simply disliked rating. Since their plan failed last time I believe she will absolutely be sent today, and as inside speed has been good lately I don't think it will be shocking if she wins. However, with Dreaming of Anna in the race, it's possible we see a speed duel, though Dream Rush should be faster than her early.

Not saying she can't win today but I think Dream Rush's trip last time was not the reason she lost. It was either a problem with rating or that she wasn't good enough. Please watch it again.

I have no way to watch the replay and I remember solely from watching the race that day. If your opinion is she lost because she can't rate or isn't good enough that's fine. I think she faced the most adversity she ever has and being her first start of the year maybe she was a little short in the final eighth.

I'm also not ready to say she cannot be rated. The rail is a tough draw once again, but the speed signed on outside of her is much quicker IMO, so maybe Bejarano can be a bit better with rating in attempt #2. I've never been a Dreaming of Anna fan, but that's for another argument.

Good luck to you today!

I know you are just repeating what he says, but that horse is always LOW, I run out of fingers and have to go to toes when counting how many times that one horse has cost me a pick three ticket that I punched 10 times

I can remember when trainers would almost always start a horses campaign with a sprint.

SniperSB23 · #28 02-10-2007, 03:26 PM

She tired badly to finish third. Dream Rush romped.

KEV,this track is like racing on Mars.Whoever comes into the stretch with the lead(inside) is gunna usually get a tank refill,and the one who is laying 2nd will get a flat.The leader draws off.Just a bit of a pattern when you race on f'n Mars.Even McCann's Mojave did it.

Umm...I am assuming this kills my chances of hearing from team Illman/Serling for any future race analysis
