I hope this does materialize so i can pay for my trip to louisville.
Ouija Board is my favorite horse, but after watching that race yesterday, I would hardly dismiss Gorella as in a "different class". Destroying that field with a 6-wide run put Gorella in the elite filly group, IMO. Of course Ouija Board has accomplished much more in her career, but in a single race I would never discount Gorella after watching her yesterday.
