don't know about that one. but if it comes up on the soft side I wonder how horses that have been racing on the west coast turf will take to it.
Like After Market or Citronnade.

Interesting too because she's got Jennie R. to deal with up front on Saturday, and it appears from the past that Jennie R. is going to be a bit happier up front with softer ground.

Why in the world would Arlington not have an all stakes P4?

Not that it probably wouldn't make it that high anyway, but should make it a bit more interesting...

She will laugh in the face of Jennie R. (I hope anyway)

I didn't say that Jennie R. was going to win! (Well, I did once in a thread last week, but I was completely joking....and still nobody called me on it), just that she may enjoy herself up front a bit more and that could be a bad thing for Citronnade because I'm pretty sure Jennie R. will be on the lead.

I'd actually be thrilled to lose my money and see Jennie R. win this thing, but really, let's be serious....

i think Citronnade is awesome, but the turf is deeper and gives me a little pause. i wouldn't be too worried about anyone giving her trouble so much on the front end, I mean she has just laughed at the competition recently, no one has been able to lay a glove on her. but 1 3/16 on a deeper course? I'm keeping my mind open at the moment. Lady Of Venice also ran out of her mind last time on first lasix. I also don't know yet how to rate Irridescense but I have to give her a look as well.

And she was able to kick home real strongly at Lone Star before that on less than desirable turf.

how she closed in the CashCall, and where she closed from totally blew me away.

well pp's are up now, and I already have huge concern for
Citronnade.at this point leaning more towards Royal Highness and Honey Rider.

Softer ground the better for Doctor Dino. Just not sure if he is classy enough to win, although on his last run behind Shadow Gate, he has every chance with an in form jockey booked.

Is Arlington a hard track to ride (as long as your name isn't Jamie Spencer)
