Programming note, Oaks coverage extended on Versus to deal with the 15 min push back of post time (to 6pm EST).

That picture of her at DRF at the start of the race is pretty gnarly.

Finally given an opportunity to sprint for the first time since his impressive maiden win a couple of years ago, he responds with a nice--and more importantly, rallying--effort at GP against the likes of Cpt. Candyman Can.

Does Godolphin take the hint?

Nope. Let's try and improve on that impressive 2010 campaign...by running in the same sort of spots. He should be in the Churchill Downs Stakes.

Looks like it's going to be a bad week for the broodmare Kelli's Ransom all the way around...

Looks like a disaster. She might even be stepping on (or being stepped on) by Unrivaled Belle.

Coming into the year, I thought he might end it as HOY. I have been waiting for the light bulb to go off with him and thought he might turn a corner and become a monster. The first couple of starts were horrific but the last made me think that maybe, just maybe, he's on the right path. Of course, it was only against nw1x company.....but the bright side about racing these days is there's very little difference between maiden $20k claimers and grade one horses. You see Equestrio finished third in his stakes debut.

I thought it was after the PA Derby (possibly before) that you were saying he was a positive bum, that is why I was surprised.

Oh, I've said it plenty of times and likely will say it a few more times. But like I said, when a horse is a goat....and he happens to be in a field of other goats, he can get it done. There's no such thing as consistent anymore. The ones that you think are bad one day will pop up and win a graded stakes and the ones that you think should be the main contenders will run up the track. So I don't count anyone out of any race.

Wow Banned.

[ateamstupid]

Gomez is quite the big day rider. I could have ridden Banned to victory, but still.

[King Glorious]

Ended up with a box of Daisy Devine, St. John's River, and Bouquet Booth. Another ticket with Kathmanblu keyed in all three spots with those three. Another with Zazu keyed with them.

Kathmanblu is the pick.

HRTV really needed to get this Golden Gates Field race in while they are loading huh?

oops, had to watch it on Xpressbet

[slotdirt]

I must have misread that on VS - that exacta paid $14.60? 9-1 with 17-1? That can't be right.

ETA - never mind, they obviously had the wrong price listed for the exacta.
