The connections of the Oaks winner have talked about running in one of the two remaining TC races, more like the Belmont than the Preakness. The owner says he would have really been interested in running in the Derby.

She might’ve finished 10th tomorrow. They definitely made the right choice.

Well, you know Pletcher ran a filly in the race the same year he won with Super Saver. Ran Rags to Riches again Curlin. So he's not scared. Also, it's not like the boys have been running some great figures to scare away anyone.

She was life and death in the Ashland and Oaks. Can’t they at least run the Derby before you have her winning it?

Is it simply coincidence that this is the 30th anniversary of this near-tragic turn of events (considering the epic Mother Goose that subsequently took place)?

Where did I say she would win it? I don’t believe she would have.

This thread has listed possible starters. I was listing a possible starter based on their comments. Not once did I offer an opinion on where I think she should run, where I’d like to see her run, or how I think she’d do.
