I spoke to Ed Dunlap this afternoon at Tattersalls and he was inquiring about the weather in KY, not wanting soft ground. Said nothing about Classic or dirt. I will ask him tommorrow as he sells a couple I am interested in.

How did 12 furlongs for Ouija Board become a question? Sure, most of her races this year have been at 10 furlongs, but that doesn't all of a sudden imply that they realized she can't go 12 poles. I think she does both equally well. To me, one of 2005's most impressive performances came from Ouija Board in the Hong Kong Vase - at 12 furlongs.

If the ground is good-to-firm on Cup Day, the 10 furlong preparation will help her in my opinion. I've long looked at 10 furlong European runners in the BC Turf (ie - Kalanisi, Fantastic Light) when the ground is G/F here in the states - or atleast a horse who can run both 10 and 12 panels effectively.

I guess my point is that since 12 furlongs isn't a problem, I'd like to see her in the Turf. I mean, who does she have to fear? Hurricane Run, where it would be a compliment to say he's a "shadow" of his former self? Red Rocks? English Channel and Cacique? I respect them all, but they aren't anything she hasn't seen and beaten before.
