never was a grade 1 that I can remember, the other two draw today.

[Mike]

I'm going with Monterey Jazz if he runs here

Has anyone dug into the American Oaks yet? Once again a tremendously deep field and open betting affair.

Who knows what to make of the Euros and the New Zealander, but it's certainly cool to have Glen Boss come to the U.S. to ride. Not sure he's been here before??

Had Albertrani Friday to discuss Gozzip Girl who figures to sit a nice ground-saver.

Another question is where does this race move next year with Hollywood gone? In 8 years it came from nowhere to become the best turf race of its' kind (3yo fillies) in the US. Would Arington latch on to it for Million Preview Day?

Anyway... 14 tomorrow and there has to be some value to be found. And note Gary Stevens trainee on the AE list.

Its a lot of money in a category that has little money to begin with, I would say the American Oaks is a premier race around the world because of the money for a restricted filly race....was the most brilliant thing HP did.

It seems to me like Del Mar could have that race in 13 days and get the same field.

Steve,

As a regular follower of Aussie racing I can certainly vouch in Glen Boss' riding capabilities. He's right there with Darren Beadman and Nash Rawiller as that country's best riders, it will be interesting to see if he can adapt to the smaller track at Hollywood.

I would put it on Million Day if it went this route. The Beverly D. as far as I can remember isn't exactly riddled with 3YO fillies. And the American Oaks would be a nice counteract to the Secretariat.

It's too bad Colonial isn't doing better because it would be a great addition to the VA Derby card and the turf course here is awesome.

What about the Queen Liz Cup at Keeneland?

[eajinabi]

Tommorow in the American Oaks, Wake Me Now(IRE) is listed as Gary L. Stevens as the trainer. Is this Gary Stevens the former jockey or is it a Euro trainer with the same name?

[hockey2315]

Same guy

Finally took a quick look at the American Oaks this is a handicappers dream, a great betting race.
