Don't know much about those East Coasters, but aren't the first two front-running types?

Gozzip Girl is not a frontrunner but more a beneficiary of an excellent ride yesterday by Kent Desormeaux as he took advantage of a paceless race. Magical Affair will easily handle 10 furlongs and will certainly enjoy a stronger early tempo.

It sounded like Drysdale opted to skip the Honeymoon rather than passing because of an injury.

I just noticed that the American Oaks is on July 5- isn't that a Sunday? If so, that seems dumb.
