Wknd Stakes Beyers: Julia 114; Orb 97

[Dahoss]

Aside from Rachel Alexandra's 116 in the Haskell I can't remember many 110 plus Beyer's in routes by 3 year old fillies in the last decade or so. Have there been any?

Blink Luck and Havre De Grace ran big at Philly, but that was late in the year and I think it was a little short of 110. Same exact thing with Plum Pretty. Careless Jewel ran near 110. Those are about the best I can remember other than Rachel, and they were all much later.

This is going back to 2002, but Take Charge Lady received a 109 for her SBD win at Fair Grounds. She followed that up with a 107 in the FG Oaks.

That had to be more than a decade ago.

"...in the last decade or so." Guess this discussion hinges on what does this phrase actually mean. Last decade might mean 'last 10 years' or 'occur during last decade' which is 2000-2009. Or what the heck does 'or so' define?

And most importantly, why did I care enough to type this post?

So I could wish everyone, "Happy Easter".
