Anyone know the T-G # for One Hot Wish at Keenland? She got a 1+ on RAGS. That has to be one of the fastest, if not the fastest debut number ever by a 2 year old, no less a filly.
Will be interesting to see what happens at Del Mar Friday in he Cal Bred stakes race she\'s entered in.
Reportedly she went to the Keeneland sale after her win, and no one bid higher than 300K, so Ward and partners bought her back. She has crooked ankles according to Bruno de Julio of the Racing Digest (see notes and horses to watch in Friday\'s edition, page 16). Crooked ankles? Are these buyers nuts? She ran a freaking 1+! I\'ll take those kind of crooked ankles any day.
Yes, well if they ran all her races on \'sheets\', they might be willing to pay some bucks for the filly, but unfortunately, she has to run on real dirt (or what pases for it these days) and if the ankles are really bad, well, you know.
The fact they were trying to sell her tells you a lot.
I don\'t know what it tells me, except that no one bought her, that tells me a lot! She\'s scratched anyway, so it is a moot point for now.
I will look at two runners in that event now: #10-I Dig Her, a very strong looking Art Sherman filly and #9 Treadmill, though I bet her last time and she was very disappointing, the cut back in distance can only help, and she looks like the main rallying type in the race for Doug O\'Neill. I wasn\'t impressed with anyone else.
Allegedly One Hot Wish will run back on Wednesday against the boys in the Cal-Bred Stk.
