CHANTILLY

[Bllack Bridle]

Wins again under a hand drive , 26.1 on the end of it

I don’t think there’s a filly that can even come close to her right now … other than Miki And Minnie …

She looked like she could have won the NA Cup compared to those eliminations.

Not sure I agree, I just think there are only a small handful of top 3-year-old fillies so the wins look more impressive. There are definitely more very good 3-year-old colts so maybe they don't look as impressive to you because the competition is tougher.

She would have won any of the Cup eliminations.

You can think that, but you really have no way of knowing. You're saying that because she dominated a field of weak fillies. The 3 colt divisions were much more competitive fields than hers. Either way it doesn't really matter anyway. I would have liked to see her run against the boys to find out how good she really is.

The filly is a creature and borderline once in a lifetime filly but if she raced like Boyd's colt she would have gotten distanced. You cannot boat fractions and get everything your own way for 10 starts against state bred fillies of questionable ability then hook these colts. Very smart move for Nick to talk the old guy into the sensible approach. And I'm on record as she will not beat Mini, I hope she does but I can't see it. James can beat up on that driving colony but beating Dex is another story.

still dont think she is top 2 in any of the na cup elims

She would have beat Louprint and Captain Optimistic easy.

Pure speculation as to how she would have fared against the boys, but her mile was very impressive. Basically a glorified qualifier.

What I would really like to see this year is Twin B Joe Fresh face the boys because I think she's much better than they are.

Twin B is an absolute monster but she is benefiting from how watered down the mare side has become on both the trot and pace due to breeding.  It has gotten too lucrative and all the good ones are gettting put in the shed early.  Look at the trotting side - there is nothing - I’m surprised they haven’t brought Allegiant back to pick up some easy crumbs. 

Chantilly would have to get a trip against the boys but in the big races there just aren’t any breaks and she is used to getting a lot.

in 1991--Miss Easy tried the boys in The M1 Pace

she raced against Precious Bunny in her elim, got crushed ....and was never as dominant after that

Allegiant is kicking ass in Europe.

Allegiant is kicking ass in Europe.

She is but she could have made as much winning a condition event here vs what she won in her first race there

In my opinion Twin B Joe Fresh could have beaten the boys last year. Chris Ryder doesn't rule out facing the males on occasion this year.
