![]() THIS IS WHAT JERRY BROWN OF THORO-GRAPH WROTE BEFORE YESTERDAY'S RACE.........
As we pointed out before the Arkansas Derby, Secret Oath reminds us of Eight Belles, who also suddenly got better over the winter at Oaklawn, and stayed at that level. But where Eight Belles was overraced, Secret Oath has had two fewer starts coming into Louisville, and has an old-fashioned 3yo pattern for an old-fashioned trainer—a pair of tops followed by an off race. With five weeks rest we expect her to get right back to her top, which makes her a very strong contender. Note that this filly is out of a mare that ran big numbers, but not until she was older, and her previous foals did nothing at two. If she stays sound Secret Oath could be something special. Be sure to add what's wrong with HIM as a human being too. Since that's the way you wanna be's handicap horses AND LIFE! |
