    Not so. I can't imagine this filly being only 5-1 to win the Kentucky Oaks, and 2-1 on Sunday. That being said, let's hope for even money.

    Yea I'm hoping for 4/5 (its not often I can say that about a horse I plan on wagering on).

    Easy as can be. I took her when she briefly hit 1/2 as they were approaching the gate. Unfortunately she went back down to 1/5 :thumbdown:

    Either way though, she dazzled. The sure fire top Oaks contender.

    Flyin Late any chance in her facing the colts soon?

    Well, I firmly believe its gonna depend more on Baffert's barn than it will anything else. Castaway did not run well and if Secret Circle and Bodemeister aren't successful in their next attempts I feel her odds of running in Derby would skyrocket. Either way, she looks entirely playable against the boys.

    She's a monster. I bet the Pick-3 huge 7,11/3/1,3,6. I actually had to sweat a bit in the feature.


    BTW, the video of Bode's 10 horse work is pretty amazing. He's serious for sure.

    Contrary to what i had read earlier, it turn sout that the Sunland Oaks was not a graded race. So she still has zero graded earnings. No Derby for her, unless she somehow turns up in the Lexington or something.

    Easy win, thought she looked pretty good. Too bad i couldn't bet her. Great job by the morning-line maker, lol.

    I will take a stand against her in the KY Oaks, she hasn't beating anything to date. You all don't think On Fire Baby and a few other are as good? In her last race she only be 4 fillies, and I don't think at this time any of them have come back on won next out. Don't get me wrong I respect her and think she is going to be a top filly throughout this year. I don't see lighting in a bottle for Baffer again for this filly.

    I agree she might make an interesting bet-against in the Oaks. That race won't prepare her well for the Oaks, as she didn't face much heat up front and the final time wasn't much. Let them pound her to odds on and maybe we'll look elsewhere.

    This is exactly what I said about Plum Pretty. We all know how that ended up.

    Plum Pretty was 6-1.

    Just comparing the similarity between their likely final prep race before Oaks. Beating lackluster competition, winning by ridiculous margin, etc. Plum Pretty simply didnt have the explosive maiden/allowance1 wins to supplement her.

    Think Gabby's Golden Gal ran third in the Oaks coming out of Sunland a few years ago, as well. Of course, Rachel beat her by 20+ lengths, so not sure how relevant that is...
