Movement ran an uninspired third in a very soft spot in her last race. After two scratches, including the Wygod first time starter I expected to be tough, Movement went off as the post time favorite.
Her effort was like downtown surface parking: Ugly and inefficient. She broke well from the gate, but immediately began running with her head cocked as she did in her most recent breeze. She was also getting out in the lane. She finished a well beaten third in a slow race with a weak field.
"Like in any sport, you practice how you play," trainer Jamey Thomas said, noting she ran just like she breezed the week before.
Despite her dull effort, one highlight of the day was watching the race from the rail. And I don't mean on the apron, but right on the track at the rail where the track photographer stands. Being that close to the action is truly amazing.
