Unrivaled Belle, I had her to win so I'm thrilled with that pick, I also had Shared Account so I'm pretty happy with my picks.
It's not that RA avoided her, RA was clearly not ready. I like Asmussen but he's not Wiggins and it was Hal's conditioning on RA that got her through her 3 yo year. I would refuse to race a horse that wasn't ready, why break them down?
Nobody's been avoiding her, she's stayed safely out West with weaker female competition and avoided the males out West. If the field opens up 17+ lengths on her, no late kick can make up that kind of distance in a field with that much speed.
