Saw she's scratched from the Oaks so is it all or nothing?

I'll take 6.

Is she definitely out of the oaks?

Hope she gets the 20 post in the derby and goes to the oaks to take money off of Proud Spell. . .

Why all the hate for this one???
What exactly has she done wrong? On top of that, they didn't even draw a full field for the Oaks, so she didn't exclude anyone from there. The owner says he's only skipping the Derby if she gets post 1, 19, or 20. 85% chance she runs, and if she doesn't, we miss out on Halo Najib. BIG F*CKIN DEAL THERE!

Think it's more distaste for the owner than it is the horse. Rick Porter's fan club doesnt seem to have stretched into these ranks.

It's really not him, it's that damn bow-tie.

The Court Vision ribeye matchup bet is still on the table. Payoff Saturday night, and no sleeping in the car this year.

Unbridled's Song has never had a son, let alone a daughter hit the board in a TC race. What makes this filly any different than the other thousand or so UBS's that couldnt do it?

How about Boundary? Pulpit? Tiznow? I'm not in love with UBS at this distance, but almost all of them have miler pedigrees and I'd bet UBS hasn't had many offsping- male or female- that are this stout. I actually look at pedigree more than most when considering stretchouts, so I know she's up against it....while I actually do think she rates a shot, part of this is an inside jab at BT for loving Court Vision.
