She Be Wild and dirt are probably not a good combination.

In the Florida Stallion Series she may run second, although it won't be at a fat price. In this group against Blind Luck, Devil May Care, Tidal Pool, and Amen Hallelujah, Joanies Catch has about a 0% chance of running second.

Thanks, Steve!

That was a good call by McPeeked to send Beautician to the Ashland.

She's had 18 starts!! That's a career (& more for most these days!) she's 16 for 18 ITM so using her in the Tri's seems reasonable to me.
I agree she appears a cut below several of these though.

[FATPIANO]

I agree she is a cut below, but she always seems to find a way into second place

Hey, I'm with you... I won't be leaving her off my tickets.

Churchill Downs officials are expecting an overflow cast for the April 30 Kentucky Oaks, with the 14-horse limit surely having to be invoked.

As of Wednesday, these are the fillies who would make the cutoff for the Grade 1, $500,000 Oaks based on graded earnings: Ailalea, Amen Hallelujah, Beautician, Blind Luck, Crisp, Devil May Care, Evening Jewel, It's Tea Time, Joanie's Catch, Jody Slew, Quiet Temper, Sassy Image, She Be Wild, and Tidal Pool. The connections of another five or six fillies say they want in if possible.

Dude, I just read she suffered a fracture and is out of the Oaks.

why do they limit the oaks to 14, but let 20 in the derby?

just guessing, but maybe because the run to the turn is only a few seconds going 9 furlongs?

Bummer....

If you ask Scuds, I'm sure he'll tell you it's a plot by the fillies to get the males to work harder (or cull the males), so they can breed themselves to the fittest prospective stallions.

After all, thoroughbreds were a creation of the Arabs, and stuff like this is why Muslim men need to keep the women down.

I'm really surprised you'd be so stupid to not realize this on your own.

[Indian Charlie]

On second thought, your question is most likely a disingenuous attempt to deflect suspicion away from some nefarious plot you are hatching out.

I now just have to figure out what your evil womanly game is.

lol

no, i was actually asking a serious question...but the answers i'm getting are better than what the real reason might be!

Uh huh, suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrre you are.

[jwkniska]

hope the horse recovers and can run again. There goes one future wager.

[rpncaine]

Just wondering. There is a possiblity that I can get off and make a run down 65 to Churchill for the Oaks Day card. Would I be able to get tickets? Is there a general admission and would I be able to get a spot to sit down?
Any thoughts would help.
