    • Just a Minute (Not This Time–Breaking Beauty, by Into Mischief), who debuted as a 9-2 shot here, set up shop midpack as the field was led by a longshot up the backstretch. The filly made steady progress by sticking to the fence around the far turn. With the rail lane wide open entering the straightaway, the 2-year-old fired her best shot, closed with alacrity when she shifted to the two path inside the final sixteenth and held off a late charge from Cynical Humor (Gun Runner) to leave the kids' table behind and eat with the grown-ups. The winner is a half-sister to Tiz Dashing (Tiz the Law), GSW, $292,207. A $300,000 Keeneland November buy in 2019 for Summerhill while Event Detail (City of Light) was in utero, Breaking Beauty is also responsible for a yearling colt by Charlatan and a weanling colt by Gunite. She was entered in Prince of Monaco's book for 2026. Just a Minute's second dam, German multiple group stakes winner Que Belle (Seattle Dancer), also produced GSW Osidy (Storm Cat) and French group stakes heroine Quetsche (Gone West). 8th-Churchill Downs, $122,883, Msw, 11-26, 2yo, f, 5fT, :58.28, fm, 3/4 length.

    • i'm on the same page as well about larsens driving. I've always thought larsens got a reasonable  tactical brain,but horses don't quite run for him like they do for some others. yesterday he had to be on a downer anyway. He would have been upset about what happened with montage,a horse he had driven many times.Wasn't everyone in that race lucky to avoid montage when he faltered so badly. It just happened that the horse trailing montage, driven by b orange, had dropped off a couple of lengths off his back and the fella 3 back the inside was happy sitting there and not following montage.B orange reacted very quickly and other drivers behind followed suit Quite fortunate indeed. so larsen,with montage in the back of his mind, he drove his trotter xerion,gave it the perfect run,but it seemed to struggle from a lap out and was disappointing. Xerions a horse that i've pointed out previously was kept going over winter when its form was getting worse and it appeared the horse was getting more run down.He did finally give it a freshen up and after that,it won last week,bit it wasn't as good yesterday. So he would have hopped on his 2 year old on a bit of a downer,and he produced a dumb drive.  actually i started a thread on him a year or so ago and expressed the opinion,horses seemed to run much better for his son when he came back for a holiday and drove his fathers horses,but then his son went back to victoria. Larsen is a trainer that buyers should pay a bit more for his horses.As hosn horses seem to always go on and do a good job when sold. Theres been some in queensland like that.So hes a good honest trainer.
