3YO fillies, in my experience, are tough. Looking back the winner of that race had a decent pattern. Series of pairs, a move up wasn’t out of the question, though I’m welcome to someone telling me I’m wrong with that analysis. I didn’t play the race that day.
I recall in the Sword Dancer last year Jerry saying Glorious Empire was a bleeder and if he didn’t bleed, he had a shot. And he won. My question is, how is a layman supposed to know if a horse bleeds or not? Is it just knowing sires? Listening to Byk? Giving an excuse to a horse with strong figures? Or simply having a closer ear to the ground? Also reminds me of Catholic Boy, who bled in one of his preps and took him off the derby trail, is it scuttlebutt?
