Keeneland, October 2. Open the published Replay Analysis for races 6 and later.
Time to Dazzle
She came away cleanly and was allowed to settle well off the pace as the longest shot on the board was left alone on the front end down the backstretch, was quietly ridden through the middle stages while 2+W before easing into the clear shot down the stretch, and after a willing finish and being driven to reach the front, barely got up on the very last jump before SPRINTING through the clubhouse turn on the gallop out, which we believe deserves an UPGRADE on some level moving forward!
Foxiest
She broke inward and lost about 1L at the start, which is not noted in the PPs, and then showed nice quickness to recover to earn the pocket down the backstretch. She raced in hand into the far turn, eased off the inside to draft behind a leading trio as the far turn progressed, and after getting around the tiring leader at the rail and making a split of horses before being urged to sprint in the final 3/16, EASILY drew away from the others and was allowed to cruise through the finish line under her own power before offering up a HUGE GALLOP OUT through the clubhouse turn. It seems obvious that there is plenty more gas in the tank.
UPGRADE
Keeneland Race 2: R Ruth of My Life Was 12-1 ML. Note the following for this runner: 1) She stumbled at the start and then was crowded and lost her path, which cost her about 4+L from the gate! 2) She saved ground throughout nearly the entire far turn. 3) As the far turn progressed, she eased off the inside and was looking for a seam from in-between rivals when she was crowded and forced to steady! This cost her about 2+L overall! 4) This jockey gave up in the stretch drive, which increased the margin of defeat! UPGRADE or EXCUSE this running line as you see fit!
