The only thing I can see making a bet on her is we haven't seen her on a fast track yet. So I guess she's abit of an unknown on dirt.

I think the Noble Damsel is probably the most interesting betting race of the 3 stks today. Criminologist and Say You will are probably going to take the bulk of the money here but they are a notch below the best female turfers so at a short price not much to get excited about, I'm going stabbing with the only 3 yr old in the field Sefroua from France, was hoping for soft turf and she gets it today. Finished second to Ocean Music who ran at Del Mar which may or may not be a good reference. But that was at 7 furlongs, probably not her favorite distance. I'll take 9-2 or better.

Another of one of Durkin's patented calls (or vocals) with Doremifasollatido winning the Matron. If this horse would go on to win the BC Juvenile Fillies, too bad Durkin no longer works the Breeders Cup.
