Misty for me

Started by covelj70, November 03, 2011, 09:41:14 PM

I find it hard to believe that misty for me has won 4 group 1s in Europe without ever having run even a decent number. Her numbers would barely make her competitive in grade 3s here but she\'s won 4 group 1s there?

Seems suspicious.  I am using her tomorrow. I rarely question the figures but hers are tough to believe.

NoCarolinaTony: On average it does seem that most of the Euro\'s figs seem slow for the class they are running in...Does Red Rocks 06 sound familiar?

BH: timeform has her at 122, racing post at 119, if that helps.

Wrongly: Seems like I struggle with this each year.  Past few years I have given extra credit to those foreign horses who are assigned a 120 or higher Timeform rating.  To me that\'s a Grade 1 figure!

miff: Much faster on Rags, 2 back, the fastest fig run by anyone in the race like, TG 1/2

Footlick: When she runs her race she is top drawer, but her best races have been at the Curragh where she always performs.  Outside there, she is a little spotty.  O\'Brien is hot in the US this year, so that is a plus.

headstr8ner: Does anyone know if this Euro horse ever went 3 turns? not to mention from start to be faced with first turn just 485 feet from gate..I do not know the Irish or French tracks but I imagine there are less turns and in some cases no turns.
