Spring Waltz is supposed to go in the New York Handicap on the turf, which I believe is next week, and I fail to see what is wrong with Frankel entering her in this race in case during the time between entries and tomorrow morning something happens to Ginger Punch.

The whole division is pretty weak, but all things considered, this is an OK race. Zenyatta is in California, Lady Joanne is laid up, and unfortunately Lear's Princess doesn't seem to have maintained her form from last year. But, Moon Cathcer showed some real promise last year and could improve this year for Christophe Clement. Golden Velvet is coming off a huge win in the Sixty Sails. Cowgirls Don't Cry, who I don't think has much of a chance, did win the Shuvee impressively, and even Doug O'Neill ships Mistical Plan from California. Considering what is available, this is a good race. I'm not saying it's a great race but it's not as bad as some are suggesting.
