It was an oddly similar effort from Nautical Agent tonight in her race at Colonial Downs. She sat well off of a quick pace, moved up on the turn and finished with a bit of a run to finish fourth in the field of thirteen. Our jock could have made more of an effort to have her closer early on, especially given her lack of interest in attending the pace. If he was willing to let her just lope along, she was more than happy to do it. I'm not sure it would have made a difference as it relates to the winner, but she could have been there for second or third (she was beaten 3/4s of a length for third money). We'll do the usual drill and see how she comes out of this before mapping out a plan.
Fortuna worked a half in 49 seconds this morning at Fair Hill. They missed her on the tab, but she did it and came back in good order. She should be set to have another go once the proper spot pops up at Delaware.
Dutrow's horse, Diamond Stripes, is the one in the Whitney. I remember chatting with a friend after the Pegasus last year and noting that the horse is just a freak. He'll be better now with that race in Kentucky under his belt.
