Obviously her 2-year-old form isn't going to win this, but doesn't she have every right to step forward a ton at three just like these other fillies have?

She always struck me as a horse who needed some time come into her own and obviously she's gotten that.

I hope you're right about her being a lot higher than 4-1. Winning first off the bench at 9f against this decent field will be no easy task, but if I can get 6-1+ on her jumping up, I'm taking it.

Always glad to see Capt. Candyman Can run. Hope he runs better than his last.

I don't like Orb at all in the Florida Derby. No knock on the other two favorites.

Well, no knock on them until the Kentucky Derby anyway.

Forgetting about today's result.....watch her debut. Emollient ran much better than she did that day. Only early trouble and a horrendous ride kept her from winning.
