Comments for Moonlight please? I'm really disappointed she didn't win.

[Ripley]

I thought second place was a very good placing for her all things considered. I understand you put a lot of faith in this one victory, but the race experience over the dirt just wasn't there in comparison to Meritorious. She lost by a neck and beat Trinity by a length and a half. I am very keen on past racing experience and she has yet to win over the dirt. Her pedigree screams distance and that's why I was happy enough to put her ahead of Trinity. While she is a daughter of Moondance, she definitely is leaning more toward her sire side and toward the turf, at least that's where her best and most notable wins have come from.

In the cbox, you say you aren't going to the Breeders' Cup, but I'm hoping that's just an emotional response to the loss. I think she very much fit in with the turf fillies and would have had a much greater chance in the Ms. Striking Motion Stakes against Pandora, Lissome and Taboo. If I were you, I would change my outlook slightly and realize that you might have a budding turf star. After all, you do have her dam so at some point I'm assuming you will have Moondance produce a true blue dirt baby that is capable and more prepared to take down this juvenile stakes in the future.
