Spring to the Sky's debut might have been my favorite one of the year. . . not sure how I feel about the spotting without a prep, but he interests me.

[VOL JACK]

Where are all the Filly & Mares?

The Sprint and the Distaff are coming up thin.

I think finding a dirt prep in between was problematic.

He's not going.

Jimmy Baker opting for Pocahontas for Heart of Destiny..

Bobby Flay tweet has Super Espresso (Distaff) and Her Smile (FM Sprint) as Cup entrants, as well as a 'surprise' player..

Those two aren't considered surprises?

Them finishing their respective races would be considered surprises.

I hope he doesn't mean More Than Real.

He doesn't. . . hopefully more to come.

She Digs Me wasn't pre-entered in Juvenile Sprint according to CD Monday notes.

Perhaps he wants to do his part to keep Todd's streak alive.

More Than Real goes for a repeat in the Juvenile Filly Turf?

[Kasept]

Juvenile Fillies Turf adds some names besides Flay's Dear Lavinia:

Hard Not to Like (G. Cox)
Karlovy Vary (Arnold)
My Gi Gi (Koriner)
Questing (Gosden) -- Juvenile Fillies*
Stopshoppingmaria (Pletcher) -- Juvenile Fillies*

Just the idea that they are even considering running Stopshoppingmaria in the turf makes me feel Todd has zero confidence in her.

[Dahoss]

I know I'm really reaching, but how about Champagne D'oro in the Filly and Mare Sprint? The Princess Rooney was an ambitious spot off the break and she actually ran pretty well there considering she was pretty close to a pace that totally collapsed, it was her first race in 6 months and she was in tight turning for home.

In the Honorable Miss she was up against it on a drying out track that seemed to favor inside speed. Then she was stretched out (not really sure why) for her last two. At Monmouth she was reserved off the lead wide and seemed to just sort of give up. But last time she did some running, on the engine the entire way and although the race was farther than she wants to go, she ran deceptively well I think. Now she shortens up to what is probably her best distance and might be rounding back into her best form.

Obviously if Turbulent Descent shows up with her "A" game they are all likely running for 2nd, but do you really want a short price on her? I think all of the gaps (as planned as they may be) are a concern. Tanda seems interesting also considering the ride she got in her lone dirt start.

Looking like the early candidate for worst Breeder's Cup opinion.

[Mawhip]

I just looked at her PP's and I was wrong. Certainly not the worst opinion. Didn't realize how bad this field is other than Turbulent Decent who is hard to trust like you said.

I thought it was kind of interesting.

Believe me, you will have far worse ones.
