Tiago in the Oaklawn Park Handicap or Stardom Bound in the Ashland?

Given that Zenyatta will not start at Oaklawn, would you think he rides the filly?

I think the article from DRF yesterday said that she wasn't going.

Maybe he helicopters from Oaklawn to Keeneland or vice versa to ride both

they should just ship Stardom Bound to OP for the Fantasy and let her take on Rachel Alexandra...

Bit far for a heli but jet Keeneland and Oaklawn near airports? Races have to be to close in time but w/Animal Planet filming anything is possible.

hot springs is only about half an hour from little rock driving-but they probably have a regional airport in HS.

Didn't you hear? Animal Planet can manipulate space time. That's how they managed to run the Classic on day 1 of the Breeders' Cup and the Ladies' Classic on day 2 when Jockeys aired tonight.

Will Tiago be ready for the Oaklawn Handicap -- he has not worked since March 1.

I definitely would like to see this horse back on the dirt and wonder if Shirreffs would still ship in for a Grade 2 race despite the fact that Zenyatta will not run in the Apple Blossom.
