Not that I want this but, has there ever been any talk of expanding the Oaks field to the 20 that the Derby has? Just curious..............

don't think there's enough room to put the aux gate on the oval (remember the outer rail bends back to accommodate the gate for the 1 1/4 distance.

Last year Andy sent out the Golden Tweet. Orb was my #1 in the Derby and Andy sent out a tweet stating that he thought the pace would melt in the Oaks and gave 3 horses including Princess. Put a $20 Saver Oaks/Derby Double on the 3 and Orb at the last second. Looking for the Golden Tweet again. Yes this is a redboard but I have shown enough beatdowns in the Selctions thread to get a pass.

While we are talking about Andy, he seemed to love Sophia last time. I think he said a few times that she could be Untapable's main competition.

House Rules not going to run, so Fiftyshadesofgold looks to draw in.

I know I'm out of the loop, but did they move the Oaks to Thursday?
