thats funny, I just used the same term:)

I didn't say that Jennie R. was going to win! (Well, I did once in a thread last week, but I was completely joking....and still nobody called me on it), just that she may enjoy herself up front a bit more and that could be a bad thing for Citronnade because I'm pretty sure Jennie R. will be on the lead.

I'd actually be thrilled to lose my money and see Jennie R. win this thing, but really, let's be serious....

And she was able to kick home real strongly at Lone Star before that on less than desirable turf.

Great minds!

LOVE this filly...really like the whole field actually.

how she closed in the CashCall, and where she closed from totally blew me away.

well pp's are up now, and I already have huge concern for
Citronnade.at this point leaning more towards Royal Highness and Honey Rider.

Irrisdence Jim, Irrisdence. I agree about Royal Highness, would be a great thing for Douglas to win one of these races also. While I think the Melhor Ainda Beverly D was one of the greatest editions that I have seen, this years is extremely competitive. Honestly, I love the fact that Jennie R is in this race, she has zero shot at hitting the board and could take Citronade with her

Also, Races 7-9 is a 250k Guaranteed Pick Three, Race 9-12 is a 200k Guaranteed Pick Four

one of these days I'm gonna hit the pick 3... been DQ'd from the pick 3 or pick 4 twice... it's my turn

two years ago I crushed it with Powerscourt. CRUSHED IT. Last year friggin heart boy(or is it brain boy) crushed me.

I don't know how I feel about this card yet, I usually don't get a good feel for Arlington cards until I get the inhouse program in my hand, for some reason I am much more comfortable with that instead of the form.

Any chances the Frankel filly scratches due to soft Turf

There is always a chance when the trainer is Bobby Frankel. If that happened I will be VERY upset because I am not including her on any of my tickets, and she will be 8/5 or 7/5

Could not be more with you -- she may be on a tiny little saver ticket, but I think Jennie puts her out of her element, and when that one quits at the eighth pole, the closers will prove more effective.

The numbers up front should be swift too, based on how Jennie has been running her last few. She changes the entire race for the better if you're looking to play against Citronnade.

Without digging into it too much further until tomorrow afternoon, give me Irridescence.

In my mind there is no doubt that Honey Ryder is the best horse in the race. With that said, 1 3/16 is probably not her best distance. She was all out to get up at 1 1/4 last year in the Flower Bowl and it wasn't until the last 3/16 of the Sheepshead Bay before she was rolling. Gomez will have to put her into the race a bit earlier, but given that the pace should be hot, they may be coming back to her just enough to set up that late run.

The other one worth considering would have to be Lady of Venice. With so much focus on Citronnade, Irridescence, and Honey Ryder, LOV has a great chance to be fourth choice at somewhere around 5 or 6-1. That makes her a very interesting prospect because the pace will be good for her as well. Can't like Jennie or the McLaughlin recent allowance winner, but I really wouldn't be surprised if any of the other five are in the mix when the running starts.
