awesome late close and I really think she is better right now than The Board.
besides,
I just do not see how OB can be at her best on Nov 4 after clashing with horses like Shirrocco, Electrocutionist, and Dylan Thomas all year.
thats a tough campaign for any horse, especially a mare.

yeah, but Islington did just fine after a similar campaign in 2003.

I do agree though that alexandrova is a heck of a filly. Probably the best ive seen at this stage in some time.

My heart and money will be with Ouija Board though. The lady is nothing but class.
