Girl power! Lexie Lou gave her trainer Mark Casse his first Queen's Plate winner when she defeated Ami's Holiday and Asserting Bear. We Miss Artie who was the favorite had a poor start, but rallied to finish fourth. I don't think Lexie is a Triple Crown candidate (even though she has the pedigree to do so).
Here is the replay:
A few more thoughts from this weekend
* Untapable shouldn't worry about Lexie even if she can't get the mile and quarter distance in the Alabama as she is more than likely a synth/turf only horse.
* Did I mention how hot Cal breds are? Lexie Lou is out of a Cal bred mare.
* Maybe California Chrome does now have company as Shared Belief passed the dirt test with a win in the Los Alomitos Derby (formally the Swaps).
* How good is Mr. Speaker on turf?!
* Kid Cruz has done well against easier company, another shot at the big boys again next?
More later.
