Jailibird Jog
Quote from Lonnie on August 1, 2026, 7:44 PMAnd now I hear, and see that Storybook Love has more money than Jailbird Jog, and with her fourth place finish has knocked out Jailbird Jog. Oof!

Quote from NiekH on August 2, 2026, 7:24 AMIt is a sad and angry feeling I have towards last night. Sadly my flights are non refundable so I guess I'm still going to New York, even though I have lost all interest in this trip.Â
There were 3 fillies that could ruin it for us last night, Setyoursightshigh, Nezuko Kamado S and Storybook Love. With the two breakers at the start for R Ro and Crossover I knew that Jailbird would be kicked out of the final. Maybe she'll be a A/E and someone scratches. But that was the Breeders Crown scenario too last year, and that too was a trip without seeing her race.

The pace was too slow and he needed to move down the backside to the front
Great driver, bad drive. No one else to blame sorry.Â

I donât disagree. Â I just donât think they have the confidence given her race history that she can execute multiple moves or one long sustained move at this level of competition. Â Heck, I donât see any filly really standing out in this group. Â Just a bunch of good ones with outstanding conditioners. Â She raced fine, but the outcome is a result of not being able (or driver willing?) to dictate the terms of the race. Â
Will she be shipped to Kentucky for a brief R&R and then compete in the lucrative KY Stakes program? Â Still a lot of opportunities ahead of her for many years to come.

She'll be racing in the first leg of the KYSS next sunday most likely.

Quote from Lonnie on August 2, 2026, 7:47 PM@niekh, are you traveling alone?
I woke up this morning having processed the loss, I will still be going to watch the Hambo. Should still be good racing. I did look into booking it all over towards Lexington but that was impossible. Will be fun to see NYC for the first time. And yes I usually travel alone.
