Just looking over the girls its interesting that Gorella and Shap Lisa are both from the same family... that of the conduit mare St. Lucre.

Anyway, I really like Royal Copenhagan, Wend, Chic Dancer and throw in the always dangerous Film Maker. What are everyone's thoughts on Rich in Spirit? She has one of the classiest families... might be real dangerous.

Wend will hit the board if the turf isn't soft. Although my pick is Rising Cross here, I like Rich in Spirit as well... I'm a huge fan of having Blushing Groom in the dam's sire line.

I do the same thing... I tend to pick the most winners by looking at them in the post parade. (Although I blew it big with Bluegrass Cat this weekend. I thought for sure he was was going to finish out of the money because he was so washed out.)

Gorella, Rising Cross / Gorella, Rising Cross, Wend, Honey Ryder, Film Maker / ALL

Yeah thats the best I can do for the tri. Also really pissed that Arlington isnt offering a Pick 4 with all of the big races in it.

Nope. All she does is win races. Pletcher has done really well spotting her races. I dont think shes as talented as Film Maker or Wend but shes a win machine.

Only problem I see with Film Maker is Post #11

There is a big chance she gets pushed 4 or even 5 wide in that turn and fall back Def chance to hit the board tho

What was that race on Derby Day where Wend blew my ticket? That was annoying.

I have to admit to liking the Euro here.
