Never said I'm against Dreaming of Julia. I said I wouldn't start her if I owned her or trained her. Given the competition and pace dynamics, the most logical thing to do is wait for the string of big summer races in New York and hit them all leading into the Breeders Cup.

Without cheating, I bet about 95% of racing fans couldn't name the 1st and 2nd place finisher of the last two Kentucky Oaks. It's not a race that is anymore prestigious than the next several she'd start in. Bigger crowd? Yes. More prestigious? No. Let all the other excellent fillies from a strong crop that all have the same running style rip each others heads off trying to win this race.

DoJ on top of Pure Fun, Seaneen Girl, and Princess of Sylmar and using all 4 in horizontal wagers.

Ok. Fair enough.
Last year was Believe You Can and Rosie running down that Pletcher/JV speed horse. I dont remember the horses name.
The year before was Plum Pretty beating St. Johns River. No cheating.

Instead of Peter Pan, Belmont Stakes-targeted Derby ex-pat Code West will apparently enter 8.5f 3yo N1X on Saturday's undercard. Atigun won same race last year..
