Spinster Analysis
#1 Idiomatic (3-5) is an 11-for-16 mare for Brad Cox. She won the Grade Personal Ensign, Spinster, and Breeders’ Cup Distaff last year. She has not been quite as good this year but is still a formidable early-pressing performer, and she owns the best recent Today’s Racing Digest Final Tim Ratings. She won the Grade 1 La Troienne in May, missed by a head in the Ogden Phipps (G1) in June, and was all out to beat inferior foes by a head in the Grade 3 Molly Pitcher in July.
