What a stupid ride on Dream Spinner. Unbelievable she was able to hold onto 3rd. Loveberry rode a couple times for me and he did the same thing with my horses, the only difference is that my guys were not as classy as this filly so they couldn't hang on and came in trailing the field :x . Pretty bad when the Bloodhorse write up calls you out by name:

"Jareth Loveberry allowed Dream Spinner to open her advantage through a half-mile in :46.69, well ahead of Size, Awesome Jill, and Sugar Shock..."

"Dream Spinner held the lead through six furlongs in 1:10.84, but by the time the filly hit the one-mile mark in 1:36.73, Size had gained ground on the outside and eventually passed the front-runner, who ended up third."

I'm really hoping they get some sense and a new rider, I think that filly could be awesome if she gets a ride where she's not 5 wide, then sent on to open 3 lengths on the field down the entire backside. Poor girl has heart, she tried to dig in again when Size came up on her but who can blame her for having nothing left?!
