India is an interesting horse.
They have her morning line favorite from the 1 hole! Broke maiden impressively end of June. 5.5 was a long way back then. Breeder that sold her for 400k bought her back for 2000k off that maiden win. Now thats confidence...lol
Well, its back to Belmont where she wasn't as sharp. You can only hope they make her 7-5 or less.
Atto:
Thought Allan handicapped the race pretty well will not disagree with his position. Want to point out Sophia's Choice though.
That last race was very good. The track was quick, but there was no part in that race where Sophia was weak.
The risk is bounce of course. The optimistic news is that for the most part the horse has been hickory. He's bounced little, but for his 2YO year and has missed little time. He's a Canada horse. They don't take him out to the track until May and hes out to pasture by the end of December. Hes danced all the dances and only has 26 starts. Shossbergs are late developers per the TGI stats.
He was just about as good a Turf horse as a Dirt horse and theres no reason to think he won't be a better Turf horse now that hes a better dirt horse. This year, hes a new horse. Note the change in running style. Mabye hes not up to the top two, but he makes for great perfecta value and I won't allow him to get in the perfecta or trifecta with the heavy heads without me.
