Title: Venetian Harbor
Post by: Silver Charm on February 09, 2020, 05:54:36 AM
Anyone who watches her run yesterday in the Las Virgenes has to be \"slightly blown away\". Off at 1-5 on the heels of a TG 2(?). She breaks and opens up 6 in the opening quarter. No typo. 6!!

Relaxes, allows them to come to her within 1.5 lengths thens runs off by 9. That\'s 2 dirt wins now 10 and 9. I\'m not a figure maker so winning by 9 over a bunch of fillies who were running about a 9-11. Equates to what?

This filly will probably have one more race. Santa Anita Oaks. Anything just like this and she may ne one of the heaviest Kentucky Oaks favorite in a long time. Derby? Needs points. Would have to test the waters in Santa Anita Derby. Hmmmmm

Isn\'t two lengths per point the rough estimate - so make it a 4?

That might be about right. And now someone will try and say it\'s an 0-2-X...??? Perhaps?

That was not a bounce yesterday. Brad Feee wrote in his 2 sentence handicapping analysis that the dam was a 7 furlong sprinter and with the sire Munnings. Its Speightstown. Idk on a distance but this one is quick. Derby is probably too much to do to soon. Be conservative and safe. So far this is not a great group of 2-3YO fillies. The BC last was turtle like

Bast is now out. Wasnt sold on her anyway. The Assmussen filly last week at FG looked exceptional and does nothing but win.
