1st People Doubted, trained by Aml Racing

Well I think that it is pretty clear now that this horse is just a complete monster on the turf. This is his second grade one win in a row and his second one hundred SRF rating in a row. He ended up just romping away by three lengths in the end and is now Breeders Cup Turf bound. He ran in 2:24.05 and earned $300.000.

2nd Early Retirement, trained by Mb Stables

Well this was my top pick in the race and he ran very good in here once again but he was definitely no match for the winner. He did close from way back and pass most of them and he did get beat by a very good horse for sure. I’m sure Mb Stables will have him ready for the. Breeders Cup.

3rd Sports Car, trained by Mb Stables

The other Mb Stables runner right here and he also ran a very good to get beaten three lengths in the end. Just like his stablemate he was also closing from way back and was rolling down the lane. He just wasn’t a match to the winner at all but I’m sure he will be ready next time he steps in the gate.

4th Great Bounty, trained by Drabfantasy

Well this horse ran a lot better than he did last time and he really ran a good race also. He was a pretty distant fourth getting beat by six lengths in the end but he still got a piece of the pie so that’s a good thing at least. He was just no match for the top three but still beat most of the field home.

Summary

Well I think it’s pretty clear that we saw the Breeders Cup Turf favorite run in this race and gosh is People Doubted looking good right now. He smoked a field which included the runaway winner of the Arlington Million. If he stays good he will be very tough at Churchill. Congratulations to People Doubted and Aml Racing.
