Unfair to prep for a book race that draws six, only to be skipped over for a Mdn 25 claimer that draws eight. <BR/><BR/>Same for all these optional claimers, once in a while he needs to write a NW2 other than without the optional claiming tag. An up and coming three year old should not have to face these grizzled vets to get through this condition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-38887579881389216842008-02-05T08:46:00.000-05:002008-02-05T08:46:00.000-05:00Thanks, Alan.

With the explosive Sheet pattern (just a tick better than her 2 yo top and enough time off) I'll use her in tris if there's half a price, and no I won't blame you if she's up the track.<BR/><BR/>But I don't think this is such an easy spot, and I wouldn't be surprised if she needs a drop back to state-breds to break through.<BR/><BR/>If it rains like it's supposed to, I may, on breeding grounds alone, key the rail filly Very Funny, by Distorted Humor, with Kris S on the bottom. She had a big excuse her only off-track race. This is another one with no workouts for a month, though.<BR/><BR/>The chalky Levine filly with Dominguez has the best speed figs and should be live off the layoff with hood off. Using the Formulator filters MSW, sprint, and switch to blinkers off, Levine comes up with a 6-5-1-0 record over five years, with the one out-of-the-money horse being 28-1. Every horse in the sample had at least a month off and two of the winners were off more than 6 months.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good luck with Just Zip It. I hope she stays sound so you can have some fun with her.steve in nchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061356872686618093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-35672110922812342022008-02-05T07:31:00.000-05:002008-02-05T07:31:00.000-05:00>>But no workout in 5 weeks?

But we're told that she's had "a couple of three-furlong blowouts that were not recorded as official works, just trying to keep her sharp while we were waiting for a race."Alan Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570505944559196118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-39180222810805320162008-02-05T00:23:00.000-05:002008-02-05T00:23:00.000-05:00She got just the number on Ragozin that you'd want...She got just the number on Ragozin that you'd want her to run in her comeback.
