That's a good start.

Havre de Grace is probably pretty good, though she was hardly flattered by yesterday's results ( her competition in the Apple Blossom was none too impressive ), but being that she isn't even contesting the toughest races of her sex, why would people hypothesize about her beating the best males in the country ? Awesome Maria has been pretty good this year, but I think people need to take a step back and look at the field once Unrivaled Belle got injured and Absinthe Minded stopped on the turn. I'm not knocking her, as she's really good, but no sane person would consider her race yesterday a remote threat to the three you mentioned ( plus Tizway....or even Sydney's Candy ). As for Blind Luck....who wouldn't root for her? Her connections do everything racing fans dream owners would do with a good horse. She travels and ducks no horse. However, even their ambitious plans don't include running her against males where she can't realistically be competitive.

Bounding Basque beat Life's Magic in the Brooklyn.
