None too excited about facing Yawkey Way again. But otherwise, this looks like a very good spot.

I feel the same about Yawkey Way. I'm surprised to see Lady Vi in this (and the other horses from the Lady Finger Stakes). I never like to see horses running back too soon, especially 2 year olds.

Are the nominations for the Presque Isle Debutante available?

Answering my own question:

55 fillies nominated* (*pending late mail), including Freuds On Holidays, Kocher Girl, and Letshootpool from the Friendly Beauty. Entries close next Wednesday.

If we go to the front which seems to be Ausable's preferred style, Watkins Glen could pose a problem with her extreme speed

Yawkey Way has only slight edge in Friendly Beauty
By Dave Litfin

ELMONT, N.Y. – Two-year-olds dominate Thursday’s card at Belmont Park, which features five juvenile races, including the $60,000 Friendly Beauty overnight stakes. The six-furlong Friendly Beauty drew nine New York-bred fillies, headed by Yawkey Way, who won her first two starts at Saratoga for Chad Brown, including the Ann Clare overnight stakes.

Ginger Snapit may have a tougher time up front due to the presence of Ausable Chasm, a Gary Sciacca-trained filly who was far behind Yawkey Way in her debut, but improved markedly for a front-running score five weeks later over Lady Vi. Lady Vi raced greenly and was wide rallying for second behind Ausable Chasm in her debut for Phil Serpe.However, she returned just a week later and pulled off a 13-1 upset in the $139,000 Lady Finger Stakes at Finger Lakes on Labor Day, and is thus the leading earner in the field.
