Rags to Riches Can't Race on the Inside

This is what Steve Davidowitz' says about loss of Rags to Riches.

Rags to Riches shows noticeable discomfort when racing on the inside.

That is why she was beaten by Circular Quay in team drills. That is why she cocked her head to the outside in those workouts, losing her fluid stride. That is also why she did the same thing when Lear's Princess moved outside to challenge her in the stretch.

While expressing this discomfort, Rags to Riches hesitated to change leads in the workouts and in the Gazelle, something she never failed to do properly while racing outside in her impressive series of graded stakes victories in California, Kentucky and New York.
