NEW ORLEANS – She Can’t Sing wasn’t quick enough to beat the best female turf sprinters here at Fair Grounds this winter. So her trainer, Chris Block, decided to put her back around two turns. And she’s become unbeatable. She Can’t Sing followed up her 24-1 upset in last month’s Albert Stall Memorial with another surprise, this one at 9-1, on Saturday in the $100,000 Tom Benson Memorial, like the Stall a two-turn grass race for older females. With Jared Loveberry again aboard, She Can’t Sing ($20.60) made a powerful, three-wide rush on the far turn to move to the front in upper stretch, and had plenty left to hold safe Gam’s Mission and win by 1 1/4 lengths. Clara Peeters was three-quarters of a length back in third, then came, in order, Lake Lucerne, Russian Mafia, favored Hendy Woods, Lovely Ride, I Hear You, and Miss Tulsa. She Can’t Sing completed 1 1/16 miles on firm turf in 1:44.21, the final time impacted by a slow early pace of six furlongs in 1:14.39. She Can't Sing got an 89 Beyer Speed Figure. :: Serious horseplayers use serious products.

She knows how to finish off a race now.” The win was the sixth in 28 lifetime starts for She Can’t Sing, 5, a daughter of Bernardini out of the Distorted Humor mare Distorted Music. She is a homebred of Block’s long-time clients, Lothenbach Stables. Normally at the end of this meet, Block would be returning to Arlington Park. But nothing’s normal in Chicago anymore. His voice actually caught a bit when saying out loud that he’d have been going to Arlington, but now will set up shop at Hawthorne, and see where to spot She Can’t Sing next. Block said She Can’t Sing will be freshened during Keeneland, so she won’t run there, but a start at Churchill Downs might be next. And it’ll be around two turns. “We’re not going to change now,” Block said. :: Take your handicapping to the next level and play like a pro with free Formulator, DRF's premium data product
