While Thorpedo Anna may win, there are a couple who have runs some figs just as fast as TA. Where\'s My Ring and Free Like A Girl are two that I am going to box and key , and hope she runs out of the money.
TA sure has been consistent, but she had been beating up much easier company.
At what will be 1-5 odds on TA, she\'s an easy bet against in this one.
Anna just ran a full second slower that the 2x the race before. And she won handily in a Grade One.
TA was sweated up pretty good before the start and she did carry 7 lbs more than the winner of the 10th. I\'m waiting to see the fractions A slow G1 for fillies and mares seems possible but surprising.
The anomaly may be the 10th. The winner won by 5.5.with a strong finish from an forward placed position.
Weight differential is part of it, but there is a bet to be cashed against TA at some point. She hasn’t moved forward at all since the Oaks.
Silver beat me to the punch on the post on this topic as I was prepared to post about this exact issue.
23.20 47.44 1:12.09 1:36.96 1:43.14, 104 Beyer
23.47 46.74 1:11.22 1:37.70 1:44.27, 93 Beyer
I was insistent walking out Fairmount she will be a Bet Against at some point and I\'ll be there if the opportunity presents itself and let\'s just say it wasn\'t well received amidst yelling about Time Only Matters in Jail, She\'s a Beast, etc etc.
I love the racetrack LOLOL
Most of you went broke saying the same thing about Zenyatta
It sounds like TGJB has already made a number for the Oak Blossom. He made it off the horses. If the 2X allowance horse was given a better number I\'ll about seize. But even if she did, (He did), I\'ll take Thorpedo Anna in the head to head match race with the 2X Allowance horse and give very good odds.
If we handicapped races with a constant \"Clock\". A clock, that when it said 1:10 was always meant 1:10 we wouldn\'t need Tgraph, Sheets, Beyer, Brisnet or any number of other \"Clock Calculators\".
It was fifty minutes later, the homestretch was now entirely in shadows and the track had a distinct deeper hue to it.
I thought the time was in the Cotillion at Parx, the race after she ran her eyeballs out in the Travers.
Brian Hernandez put her in a tough spot, trapped inside on the far turn. Gun Song ran the race of her life under a brilliant ride by JV. And despite her rider and that this was far from her best day, she still found a way.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
I though Idiomatic would of been tough if she did not scratch in the BC Distaff.
