He's at the Downs, so I guess we're going to have to navigate the races alone today!

I'm going with Rasierra, I think she's within range, ability wise, of the others, the fast CD work and the rain will help this daughter of Kafwain have a shot at 30 or 40-1

I'm relying on a sloppy track

I like Elusive Lady in the Oaks. I think if Coa is able to sit her in 3rd or 4th early on she will come running at the end. Now that I say that Coa will take her to the top.....

She seems to me like she maxes out at eight furlongs, but she should move up big time if the track is wet..
