Indian Blessing despite PG1985. Too good and will get the ideal trip. The older filly sprinters suck and I dont think that Ventura will stay close enough. Zaftig is an owners decision to run. Take whatever you want from that.

I have no idea what to do with the turf race

Me too... Love that filly. Best turf filly in the country, end of story, trained beautifully by an absolutely underrated trainer.


We gotta get you one of these BC things.

Nice to see the DIRT POSTER GIRL, Indian Blessing, get her ass handed to her.

She gets a PERFECT SETUP and still gets run like like she's pregnant.

No wonder she excels on DIRT.

can't handle a fair track (even one playing to speed).

SHE
WASN'T
FAST
ENOUGH

Ironically, I believe I read on this forum that Ventura was gutless.

Thanks, I did kill it... Sealy Hill helped that a lot though. Big ups to her, who ran huge as well from WAYYYY back early.

Seriously??? Indian Blessing ran big. Not sure why you're on here killing her for running 2nd to a spectacular performance, the three best fillies (all 3yo's) ran 1-2-3 and the rest of the field was dusted. She probably ran a 108 Beyer, how is that running like she's prenant?!?

Ventura is not a 3yo.

The only reason Ventura could outgame IB to a four length win was because HR touted the hell out of IB. That's like adding 45 pounds to the saddle.

Indian Charlie said he would be shocked to see Ventura win and called her gutless. That's why I brought it up.

I understand it's a synthetic surface. It's why I liked Ventura. The fact you still think IB is better after she was demolished is why you are you. Indian Blessing is definitely a better dirt horse and Frankel said he wouldn't have entered Ventura on the dirt. But, the race wasn't on dirt. Ventura is a better horse on synthetic and turf. you ca try and excuse it all you want. but, for someone who can't say enough, you are rarely, if ever right. So, show some humility and shut up already....
Applause
