Making only her 3rd start, Walk With Me improves her Beyer speed figure by an amazing 20 points, finishing 4th, beaten just a half-length at 10-1, despite a very tough trip. No horse was beating the odds on favorite Our Main Squeeze who is one of the fastest 3 year old fillies in the country with the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks in her sights. The 2nd place finisher Landed was a $500,000 yearling purchase trained by Wesley Ward. Walk With Me would have easily gotten 3rd if her jockey Dylan Davis was not forced to put on the brakes on the far turn when a filly in front of him began retreating. Walk With Me was forced to check in the midst of beginning her move. She lost a couple lengths until regaining her stride. Davis decided to stay inside for the stretch run, where the 3 year old filly took off again. Walk With Me sustained a strong move, but the top 2 finishers were well clear over a speed favoring and deep track. Davis did not abuse her in the late stages, knowing this was clearly a stepping stone for bigger and better things throughout her 3 year old campaign. If Walk With Me comes out of the race without any issues, she will be pointed for an Allowance race in March where I expect her to be very competitive.
