But subsequent races have pretty much exposed Dreaming of Julia's performance in the Gulfstream Park Oaks as yet the latest in a long line of performances from Pletcher trainees in South Florida (with its out-dated testing protocols, if you can call them testing protocols) that are not duplicated elsewhere.

I'm a huge fan of Midnight Lucky but putting her, Close Hatches or Dreaming of Julia ahead of Beholder in the divisional rankings when Beholder has two Grade I wins, and a "maybe best" second in the Oaks (beating each of those three fillies) to her resume is pretty silly.
