The reason is not the 4-2 edge she has. The reason is that HDG had THE perfect trip yesterday while BL had to move early and still got there. They started BL slowly this year but she is on the upswing and HDG has leveled off now. Life at Ten offered absoloutly no resistance which I was counting on at least something yet BL still got there all on her own. Had she been in the Classic last year, she could have won it. It was unfortunate that LAT didnt run in that Ladies race as the older horse Unrivalled Belle cruised. Still BL beat HDG yet again. HDG should have opened up with her trip yesterday but we saw the meaning of class with BL. She is superior and has earned a shot to go in this years Classic. There are no Easy Goers so why not?
