NOMINATIONS WITH PP'S

None too excited about facing Yawkey Way again. But otherwise, this looks like a very good spot.

I feel the same about Yawkey Way. I'm surprised to see Lady Vi in this (and the other horses from the Lady Finger Stakes). I never like to see horses running back too soon, especially 2 year olds.

Are the nominations for the Presque Isle Debutante available?

Answering my own question:

55 fillies nominated* (*pending late mail), including Freuds On Holidays, Kocher Girl, and Letshootpool from the Friendly Beauty. Entries close next Wednesday.

Watkins Glen
 

If we go to the front which seems to be Ausable's preferred style, Watkins Glen could pose a problem with her extreme speed

Watkins Glen is NOT running according to Trombetta, and Letshootpool is almost certainly not running according to owner Lee Einsideler. Yawkey Way appears doubtful as well. Lecesse isn't running both of his (Freud On Holidays & Kocher Girl), if any, and Saltamontes has been absent from the worktab since her debut. And I'm not sure Serpe runs Lady Vi again this quickly..

May get 6 or 7? We'll know be about 12:30 today..

AUSABLE CHASM
QUEEN'S HARBOR
READYGETSGOLD
ROSA SALVAJE
SALTAMONTES?
FREUDS ON HOLIDAYS?/KOCHER GIRL?
LADY VI?

This race becomes more intriguing the more inside information you hear. Now, I'm even more nervous to see what happens.

Race will run.. Apparently ended up with a surprising 9.

great! hope she does well.

Well, at least Watkins Glen isn't in the race... all the other fillies I was worried about are in, though. Is there a chance some of these will be late scratches? I'm not that familiar with how they do things at Belmont.

To be the best, you have to run with the best. Cool runnings, Zinger. I know you can do it.

Is it just me or is this really deep?

It's you. Yawkey Way looks tough. The rest look like we fit just fine.

Paul

These are two year olds with no more than three starts......give me a break! :zz:

Looks like a beautiful day in Elmont on Thursday and I am looking forward to be there for her race - NOT looking forward to lining up against Yawkey Way again.

I hope Steves horse wins by 15 for you guys, but I thought the 1,2,3,5,8 were all OK.

Fact is for a NY bred 2yr old race this is deep and competitive. A lot of times these races can be filled with maidens or 4-5 horse fields.
