Damn good card overall, especially considering it could have come up light being the day after the blockbuster Travers card. The 6th race, a MSW for 2YO fillies (incidentally, the race Dee Tee's Aldebutante was pointing for), is especially interesting with the return of Nan (who closed like a wildhorse on turf), Pumpkin Shell (who ran well to be 2nd behind Miss Ocean City), and Smarty Marty (Smarty Jones who was touted for her debut and ran poorly) plus new shooters AP Excellence ($875k AP Indy), Nika ($500k Dixie Union), Proclaim ($350k Pulpit), Cheering (AP Indy out of Storm Flag Flying's full sister... working on a sundial schedule though), and Sara Louise (a $550k 2YO in training Malibu Moon(!) who has been working extremely well). There's about 8 in here who could conceivably win.
