Yes, she is! Last year, I got to Louisville in time to watch the Oaks on television at the hotel. This year, I will watch Rags and Anna and Octave do their thing, watching the big screen from the stands at Arlington (opening day). Those are my picks

I've got a sentimental attachment to Cotton Blossom.

Hard to dispute a bullet work like that for DOA, though.

Wow, this is almost as big as the news that Bwana Bull is going in the Derby. I simply don't know how I'm going to get a moments rest all week.

Glad to see that there is at least one other cynic around.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Anna because of her story, how she was named and stuff like that. I'm not necessarily a fan of Catalano, who once disposed of my favorite horse in a claimer. Fortunately, my favorite horse has returned to Chicago, trained by someone else, and winning too!

I'm one of those vocal women who will sit at the track or OTB and chant, An-na, An-na, and have everyone around me throwing stuff at me.

And I'll have to check out Cotton Blossom

as much as I love DOA...and have been a big fan of hers since early on, 2 things come to mind.

1. She was a very solid 2YO, but others seem to caught up to her,

and

2. Her turn of foot on the turf looks different than on the dirt.

Although she owns a win over the Churchill dirt, reason #1 will be the most likely reason I leave her off my ticket, especially at what will most likely be a short price.
