Wow, Nest just dominated ! She’s clearly much better than early in the year, but I wonder if Secret Oath just was never all that fast, or if she’s just not improved.

Not sure how the track is playing - 1:51 and change seems slow.

Love Curlin over Indy!

War Like Goddess just won the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic by three lengths. Looks like we may see the 12-furlong-loving mare in the BC Turf. :D

Just think, she sold for $1200 as a weanling and RNAed for $1000 as a yearling.

Gufo didn’t run a step.

Slammed dominated the TCA stakes…I remember her sire, a very talented and somewhat unlucky horse. I’ll be rooting for her in the F & M Sprint
