Santa Barbara

i was thinking the same differentdrum ,i put this one up on the 1,000 gns thread on here in september (lucky guess ) she did look impressive but only a maiden .as you say aob talks a fair few of his up but  seems very enthusiastic on   this one .

I think it is worth saying that this is all about the trainer. The form of her maiden win hasn't worked out at all. The pedigree is based very much on the previous two offspring because those that came before were very ordinary.

My interpretation of O Brien's post Leops interview was that whatever she did in the Guineas she would improve markedly for the run?  He spoke in a sot of code, as if to say that bigger prizes later on would be her target?  Any views anyone?

aob  talking about her possible inexper for the gns but happy to send her straight there , seems to be looking ahead for later targets but no doubt he is very keen on this filly  on bare form and the step up in class you would think she is a layers dream but on aobs comments and record its a risky one  ,hopefully if she wins the gns the oaks is the natural next step ,god knows what she is doing to her workmates on the gallops and in second gear according to him ,would be handy to know which fillies she works with but as we know not many slowboats at ballydoyle.

Looks a robust big horse.One thing that people haven't mentioned is her head carriage,especially if you look at the end of her race.Going into the dip may cause her problems,and as for Epsom !!!!!!,seriously dodgy.
There again stranger things have happened.I would prefer to watch,and then be interested later if she ran at Ascot or Sandown.She looks as she would dig deep on a hill finish,especially with a decent gallop in the race.
Good luck to all anyway,whoever you bet on.It's all about opinions,and hoping to be right more times than you are wrong.

someone did actually point out her head carriage on the 1,000 gnds thread tbf ,just have to wait and see as to how she handles the dip but i would be suprised if coolmore  dont have a similar scenario at ballydoyle on their  gallops . they dont leave much to chance.

A female Frankel or another excellent workhorse?
