On the other hand, I've had a slight love affair with Jennie R. for years here watching her run and struggle to really break through. She's never been my favorite, but she's one of those that I've seen for a few years here and she seemed to be so consistently close to being a good horse, but never really got there until this year.

With that said, she has no chance on earth tomorrow, so at the very least I hope my girl can wreak havoc on the chalk. If she can't win it, I hope that she can at least help guarantee that Citronnade won't.

I was just kidding, but I can certainly understand the sentiment. I love front running turf fillies (My Typhoon, Intercontinental, Noble Stella) They just keep bringing it straigth down to the wire. All the signs point against Citronnade tomorrow, but from a person who has great respect for horses, I really enjoy watching her respond on the turn with that big stride when Flores lets her go.

That's exactly how I've felt watching Jennie R. in her last three races. She's set some pretty swift fractions in them and has just somehow kept on and has only been beaten by one horse in her last three -- and that one would have been a potential contender in here given how explosive she was in winning the Modesty.

I know you were kidding, I only changed my signature as a dig at your favorite

What is the turf condition expected to be tomorrow? It poured here today but was a beautiful 60 degrees.

I think McLaughlin has a shot to get on the board with Lahudood in the Bev D.

yielding at best (the Irish jocks were both asked that today and called it SOFT).
