This Is Not
… something it should be possible to write about the G1 Suburban Handicap:
Grade 1 travesty, indeed.
At least the Suburban drew a field big enough for trifecta wagering, unlike the G1 Mother Goose, which attracted only four starters. Despite the tiny field size, though, this is the race of more interest to me — Kentucky Oaks winner Proud Spell is easily the best 3-year-old running right now and I am very curious to see how Music Note, who I’ve mentioned here a few times before, does in her first stakes start. It’s worth logging into Cal Racing to check out the replay of her May 22 allowance win at Belmont — while the comment line “4 wide, hand ride,” does capture the essentials of her run, the note doesn’t fully convey the easy dominance she displayed, and not for the first time. The A.P. Indy filly won her maiden (in her second start, after debuting in a super key race) very assuredly and also under a hand ride over the Aqueduct inner last November, before disappearing to Dubai for the winter.
