That headline just about sums up this weeks racing.
House of M continued to impress with a GR1 victory in the Santa Anita Oaks. The track was sloppy and it took her until the final furlong to get the lead, but she showed a lot of heart slogging out the win over a game Firm Belief from DVO. "She looked real good and now some of our people are thinking she may deserve a Derby entry", said Otsego owner Jim Webber. "I'd bet against it but we'll take it under consideration".
"That trip was as bad as I've ever seen", Webber stated when asked about the debut of Deep Magic. It looked as if the 2yo colt was starting to make a move when he was caught behind the fading Rivendell filly Vampire Kisses. The Otsego colt was pushed back many lengths and didn't have time to recover in the short 4.5 furlong race.
Webber classified War Hammer's effort as "ugly" as he finished last in a 4-horse field after a 2 month layoff. "He might be the slowest starter I've ever owned, and while his speed and stamina are improving, he is still not ready for the track."
