Agree 100%...I actually like the fact that a few trainers like JJ and Shug are not "blinded" by the bright lights of the Oaks and will do what they feel is best for their respective fillies...plus Shug would never ship 1/2 way across the country to hook somone who is 1/5....also, I bet if you asked both of those guys they would absolutely tell you the Alabama is a much more important race to them than the Oaks.
