I watched that race- I love Midnight Bisou and with that great pedigree- I was hoping Bisou would do better- hoping the future is bright for this horse

Me aswell! I find it interesting to follow along the careers of the offspring from some amazing mares.

She didn't show the typical Baffert speed but just ground it out over the turn and was much the best. Slow final time but that's not unusual for SA this meeting. Track seems to slow horses down. Anyway, it looks like the Bernardini was in her today with her slow start and powering home.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

I didn’t realize until just now that she ran about 2 seconds slower than the other 6 1/2F race….so maybe she’s not that good after all

Might be a horse that needs time to grow and fill out, and some distance. Possibly with another trainer she wouldn’t have started yet?!? Maybe they wanted her to get a race in for the experience… haha, who am I kidding. She’ll be in the next graded stakes for fillies later this year.

It’s hard to knock Bob here - she just made her debut at the end of October, not beginning of May

I can’t exactly blame him if he runs her in, say, the Starlet....or some other stakes; where else would he go?

But yeah, she’s so huge I’m sure she’ll be even faster later on.....but she was very impressive despite the time

I am not really faulting him, I am just saying she might be a horse like Adare Manor who got better with age. I dunno, I feel like another trainer would get that race for experience, then give her a break to grow. But BB doesn’t seem to really do that - if they’re hot, run them. Sometimes not running them is better than running them.

I didn't watch the race but considering he had the 2nd place finisher too (Indian Blessing's granddaughter) there is a chance she just went as fast as she needed to. She still won by 6 lengths even if the time was slow. No point in running guns blazing if you dont need to!

With her size, she could be.

Good points !

Admiral Dennis a TDN Rising Star for Brad Cox/Albaugh Family Stables. He looked good, and his connections seem high on him!

nice seeing this story. my best friend's OTTB lost his eye this exact same way and is also thriving as a pirate.
Baytown Boujee is entered for her debut at CD on the 9th in a $40,000 MCL.
BB just won nicely off a layoff!! I know it was an MCL, but I’m guessing the trainer assumed no one would claim a one eyed horse, and he wanted an easy spot for her return

Paul M said that he didn’t expect her to be claimed, but he thinks well of Forster - and he said she’ll always have a home if needed

Heard Saffie had a big 2 yo filly winner recently-did not catch the name but won by 16 lengths- and now has a potential star in Grayscale running at Gulfstream today in a maiden race for Saffie . Has very fast works.

Greyscale won by 4.5 -broke awkwardly then wire to wire for Drayden/Saffie. Impressive and he is a beautiful son of Frosted. I like his dam’s name Petunia ( by IM) https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/f ... ulfstream/
