She should run in the Derby. She has clearly been the 2nd best 3 year old running this year. Outside Big Brown, she compares favorably with all the others.

She took most of the stretch and was all out to get by Alina at 8.5f... In a 4 horse race. And bore in to boot.

She should not be running in anything other than the Oaks. And she looks like a bet against there too..

I agree, but I would love to see Proud Spell run in the Derby, I think her style would fit the possible pace scenario real well, although I am not sure she is a 10 panel filly

I disagree. She bored in a bit, but what 3 year olds have looked flawless this year?? One that I can tell. Yeah, a 4 horse field in a slow pace that she hopped at the start in which she trailed and still beat a horse who had it her own way on the front, who herself was coming off a 100 Beyer. She's only a bet against in the Oaks because she'll be the favorite by a good margin and perhaps people are simply looking for a price to beat her. So, yeah, a bet agaisnt there. I simply think beating Pure Clan and Alina is beating better competition than any of the males are beating.

Based on what she's done, I think she fits with 98 percent of the horses pointing to the Derby.

While that is true, Alina absolutely walked up front. It was pretty impressive that she wore her down anyway. That said, I don't see her being a Derby horse at all.

Proud Spell for the Oaks, that poly race means zippo. The other I like romped on Florida Derby day, forget her name.

she's all eltish... think that the oaks winner will come out of the Ashland. There will probaly be some value to be had with the slow beyers. Pure Clan could also be the filly to beat in the Oaks. She's been taken out of her preferred running style while racing in small fields at Oaklawn. Only thing is IEAH horses are always extremely overbet.
