JAZIL'S SISTER! Gr. I Las Virgenes
The subject of intense scrutiny here all week, Jazil has his half sister in the Gr. I Las Virgenes tomorrow!
RAGS TO RICHES, in the hands of Tabor & Smith, and trained by Team Todd... A product of Jazil's dam Better Than Honour and A.P. Indy...

How in the world does the Santa Maria remain a grade 1?

On the other hand the Las Virgenes has lived up to its G1 billing. 8 out of 9 are stakes winners (2 G1 winners) with the 9th being the most impressive maiden winner of the meet in Rags to Riches. 6 out of 9 are coming in off a win with two others coming in off a second to other horses in the race. The only horse not to finish 1st or 2nd is Cash Included who was fifth in the BC Juv Fillies last out.

this is a really nice race with rags to riches in it!
i especially like the long term prospects for rags to riches, though i'm not sure that with all she has against her tomorrow that she'll win against these. between the post, step up and increase in distance, it's asking alot, though i do think she's my top or second pick to win the ky oaks. also, i dont see it happening, but if there was a filly out there that could win the derby, it would be her in my opinion (very remote chance). this is the best 3yo filly race i've seen in years! definitely worth watching.

Rags to Riches is my pick here. I feel like every horse dropping down from 8.5 wants more distance and every other horse moving up from 7 furlongs may not like the extra furlong. Rags to Riches looks the most likely to improve this race with the added distance. Cash Included could be the best in the field but I think she'll need this race before running big next out.

She was unbelievable, incredibly wide the whole way and still won it.

She looks nice and did have a wide trip, but did Lafit Pincay really say she lost about a dozen lengths on the two turns combined? He sounded serious, but surely he wasn't.

I've been so underwhelmed with the 3 year old fillies that I can definitely see taking a lightly raced, progessing filly like Rags to Riches in this spot.
Cash included/Rags to Riches exacta and those two in a tri with Baroness Thatcher and Quick Little Miss.

Colon? No, I think she's actually a descendant of Spleen.

Rags To Riches
Mind boggling effort to win the Grade I Las Virgenes off just a maiden win. Had a horrendous ground losing trip. Broke outward from the nine post and was wide all the way around the race track and still ran by them in the lane. Sky is the limit if she stays healthy.
