Del Mar - Race 6

#8 Ruffled Feathers (3/1 ml)

This filly looks like a standout, i think. Made her seasonal debut with a sharp win over today's one-mile distance on grass, then came back and ran the good stakes horse UR All That I Am to a half-length decision on the main track. Switched back to a mile on grass for her next start, and won easily once again, then was much the best last time out despite finishing third. She settled well off the pace in last in a small 4-horse field, with Oui Say Oui (also entered here) allowed to set a very soft early pace. Cut sharply into the slow pace entering the turn to briefly pass the other two horses for second, but then had to sit and wait behind Oui Say Oui while boxed in along the rail and totally full of run. Tried to rally through a tight spot along the rail when Oui Say Oui drifted out a bit coming off the turn, but then hole closed and this filly was forced to check hard, dropping back and losing all chance but the re-rallying strongly late to miss by just 1 1/2 lengths at the wire. Should have much more pace to run at here, and as long as Espinoza doesn't steer her back into traffic, she figures tough to deny here.

Nice job DC. I was not sure that he she won after watching the race. Photo was that clse.

I know. Usually i can tell in regular speed, but i really wasn't sure this time. I was definitely sweating the photo. Could've gone either way.
