Safa: Can Go Short, Long, Turf or Dirt

Three year old filly for Gary Stute finally got her diploma on Saturday in her 6th trip to the post in a Cal bred maiden special weight event at ¾ on the main. Off as the heavy 1 to 2 choice in a field of seven, she was very impressive today, by forcing the pace outside and then drawing off in the lane to win by 8 at the wire. The gallop out was even more impressive as she had 15 on the field before being pulled up. She has only missed the board once in six starts, can go short or long, turf or dirt. Lots of options for this daughter of Grazen who will run on anything.

Generally horses that are on the Horses To Watch list ran into unexpected trouble, bad luck, and/or didn’t run the race we believe Safa was cabable of.  We expected that if Safa gets a good trip in their next start than we should see an improvement in Safa performance figures.  Use the performance figures earned in Safa last race (listed above) and compare them to the field and pars of Safa next start.  If Safa appears to have earned higher performance figures in the last race when running into trouble  as compared to the rest of the field’s expected perfomance in the upcoming race than there is a good chance that Safa will dominate the race.
