Default Rags to Riches next race

Who will take on Rags to Riches?

Pletcher is pointing Belmont Stakes winner Rags to Riches to the $300,000 Coaching Club American Oaks on July 21. The big question is, Who will run against her?

Nominations for the Grade 1 race were to close on Saturday. As of Friday there were 13 nominations, according to stakes coordinator Andrew Byrnes, four of which are trained by Pletcher. In addition to Rags to Riches, Pletcher nominated Octave, Mini Sermon, and Prom Party. Of the other nine nominees, only Folk is considered definite.

Others nominated include Cash's Girl and Lear's Princess from Kiaran McLaughlin, as well as Winning Point, My Kitty, Greenstreet, Olivine, and Autobahn Girl.

"There'll be four in there," Pletcher said. "They might all be ours. I'll run four if I have to."

Yeah, racing is good nowadays!

Sounds like a "walkover" to me!

Lucarelli is on Down the Stretch and said that Todd is planning on the Test with Octave even though the owners would rather the Alabama.

We should have seen this coming last fall, when the top 2YO filly races were horrifically (historically?) bad. There just isn't that many good 3YO fillies out there.

Amen. There aren't many of them at all and Pletcher happens to train two of the best.
