2016 Horse Racing - MSW at Santa Anita

Last edited Mon Apr 11, 2016, 08:37 PM - Edit history (1)

Yesterday in the 7th race at Santa Anita a 3yo filly smoked the field. Her sire never raced on dirt. Her dam never won more than an $8000 Maiden Claimer. She earned a 99 Beyer Speed Figure. Some of the Derby contenders have never earned that high a fig. Enola Gray. Remember her name.

If this race had been run in February instead of April, she might be pointed to the Kentucky Oaks. LonePirate Apr 2016 #1

Heck, if the field is nowhere near full, she might be entered; but I suspect they will try her in a Grade II or III before moving her to Grade I.
