Title: ROTW

I\'m going to take a bit of a contrarian opinion here and focus on Sacristy.

Looking at her 1st 4 races, she was better on dirt than synth.  Her next 4 are all tosses IMO, one on slop, 2 route races clearly too long for her and another snyth race with trouble lines and abnormal pace.

Her last 2 were best of her life, as should be expected from a normally improving 3 yr old, and Pulpits love GP and generally like dirt much better than synth anyway.  I view the pairing of lifetime bests on synth in the last 2 as a very positive sign, and when put in context with the workout tab and switch back to dirt, I see every indication of a new top coming here, potentially a big one when you look at her 2yr old figs and the possible range of improvement.  The trainers numbers listed on the sheet don\'t hurt much either.
