While many of these are at alternate stages of development, it’s clear that Sweet Seventeen is the most probable winner, high profile connections and all.
Her biggest virtue, however, is her ability, a pedigree and a rail position suited out to the stretchout, especially given the short run to the first turn.
Not only has Graham Motion’s filly never taken a backward step in three career starts but today she’s back on dirt, over which she’s 1-for-1, and the performance figured earned in her Woodbine finale was another forward move despite coming off a double top, most unusual for a filly.
Training purposefully at her Fair Hill base, she has tactical speed if Ramon Dominguez elects to use it to go along with her demonstrated late foot. Looks like a nice prospect.
Taking Sweet Seventeen to win, no price restrictions, and key boxing her in multiples with Bourbonstreetgal, a good third in the Demoiselle last time, and Captivating Lass, coming off a New Pace Top and getting first-time Lasix and blinkers.

Read this in the Daily Racing Form in an article about the Meadowlands by Derik somebody or other:
“The wagering menu was revamped for 2012 and at least one change provided mixed results. Superfectas were offered in every race but at different minimum bet amounts. Races with $1 Superfectas generated an average pool of $8,715 while races with a .10-cent minimum produced an average pool of $27,479.
Clearly bettors where more interested in the cheaper minimum. Does that mean offering a .10-cent bottom in each race will produce a higher total handle? There are no guarantees, but it seems logical.”
Tell us something we already know.
1. More pools, more total money wagered.
2. Lower takeout, more total money wagered.
3. Ten Cent Superfecta, Fifty Cent Pick 3s, 4s, 5s and 6s and tris, One dollar win, place, show, exacta, quinella, will equal more money wagered.
How long will it take these morons to get it?

T, as you probably already know, I’m a fan of fractional wagering in all pools; technology makes this possible, just as it makes the elimination of breakage possible. The first can happen; the second doubtful. But sorry, T, too many pools = not enough liquidity.
Meanwhile, tough beat today.
