I think Fee Fi Fo Fum could get beat tomorrow just because it is too short and it is one turn. I'm just hoping she runs well enough to go onto the Oaks cause I think she'd have a great shot there of at least hitting the board at long odds. Desire to Excel just screams sprinter at me and I won't be playing her. I agree that Lost Etiquette is dangerous.

The Kentucky Oaks? Are you serious? That's seems like a virtual impossibility. Not a Jimmy Jerkens type move. Plus, she would be WAY out of her league. I suppose if she runs well tomorrow he would consider the Black Eyed Susan.

We'll have to see. Rags to Riches is really the only scary horse going there. If she can run well at a one turn mile I think she'd fit in very well at the Oaks. She is bred to run all day so if she can show some speed tomorrow then look out. Jerkens isn't scared to bring a horse back in three weeks either. I'd be fine with the Black Eyed Susan but if she runs well enough at a mile I think she'd fit in just fine at the Oaks.

Fee Fi Fo Fum has run two career races and neither is particularly good and you are talking about her like she's done something noteworthy. I don't understand.

Don't really know what there is to understand. Every horse at some point only has two career races. Hers are first in a maiden on turf and third in a G2 on dirt, better than most. I think she'll turn out to be a very good horse. Only time will tell.

But she's never run a good race.

I don't think any of these have run a 'good' race. Perfect Forest hasn't had to overcome anything in any of her races, although it is looking like she might not have to tomorrow either.

I think the Bonnie Miss will turn out to be a pretty good race. Her last out Brisnet figure is tops in the field tomorrow. The top two from the Bonnie Miss went on to run 1st and 4th in a G1 that was on poly. You can dismiss that cause of the poly but at the same time maybe they would have done better if it was on dirt, who really knows. In my opinion though her 94 brisnet was legitimized by the top two coming back to run well regardless of the surface. That 94 should be good enough to win here and considering it was her first dirt start and second lifetime start there is legitimate reason to believe she might move forward.

Winning Point gets a class hike, but there aren't any monsters in here and I think she can run big.

I didn't like the winner any more than a few horses. I have no idea why Fee Fi Fo Fum was 3-1. We probably will see her on the grass from now on.
