Yeah, I think the end of last year. Very sad for the Jacksons. Not that they don't love all her foals, but it sounded like finally getting a filly had everybody excited. She'd get to stay in their broodmare band after her career ended. Maybe this year. How soon can they fetal sex her next one?

Margano, a 2-year-old full brother to 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, is entered to make his debut in Saturday’s 10th race, a 1 1/16-mile turf race that goes as the last. Margano, like Barbaro, is owned by Lael Stable. Unlike Barbaro, who was trained by Michael Matz, Margano is trained by Barclay Tagg.

That's a really interesting turf MSW.

Looks like a mix of first time starters and non-winners. I know maidens are super fun to handicap, but how does Margano look in this field? Basically what odds should he be versus what he'll end up with as a Barbaro brother?

Our Entourage is a son of Sand Springs, there are five six-figure purchases in the race and some interesting turf runners from first-crop sires that did well on turf (Which Market by After Market, Gold Megillah by Purim). Margano is certain to be overbet, but he's obviously a must-use.

Finished 7th.
