Oh yea, I don't care about trashing the quality of fields in SoCal, that's obvious.

Just don't call Michael mediocre. I'm going to get all emotional about it.

I hope Tony Soprano's horse loses.

i was just downplaying the expectations. people were mortified when Student Council won at Delmar because he was a "midwestern allowance" type horse.

Isn't that really just code for "SoCal Graded Stakes Contender" anyway?

And Lewis Michael has at least been competitive in graded stakes dating back to last Spring.

I know you're just being contrarian, and while Tiago and Lava Man obviously pose challenges, I'm pretty positive about where I'm hanging my hat.

P.S.U. Grad was supplemented to Sunday's Norfolk Stakes and is expected to run there against males. Trainer Craig Dollase was not pleased that P.S.U. Grad drew the outside post in the Oak Leaf.

Plus gets a break in pounds

Lava Man has no shot at winning, or running well in any race that he has to fly to. They have played that song too many times already.

Tiago has the right style to win this race since Lava Man will scratch in favor of the turf race.

Citronnade and David Flores will go wire to wire. Smokin Joe Talamo will get burnt in this race.

I'll be cheering for Lewis Michael in this one.
I have long considered myself a mediocre midwesterner.....and we have to stick together.

I am just glad that A.P. Arrow and A.P. Xcellent ended up in different races this time. When they are in the same race, it confuses me for a few seconds....until I remember to just toss both of them.

Good. Keep ignoring Hello Sunday everyone.

Runforthemoneybaby in the Oak Leaf although i change my mind about every 5 minutes or so.

[miraja2]

In terms of a win bet, I wouldn't take anything lower than 5/1 on any of the horses in the race. There are just too many questions to play chalk here I think.
To me Lava Man - if he goes - remains the most likely winner, but I wouldn't bet on him.

Can someone please explain to me how Mauralakana is 10/1 in the Yellow Ribbon?

She looks like she should be 3/1 to me. That's a crazy price with three minutes to post.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

And she ran like she should have been 20/1

[NoChanceToDance]

Result, please.

[miraja2]

Nashoba's Key by about a length over Citronnade.

[SniperSB23]

Nashoba's Key over Citronnade.

[NoChanceToDance]

Sums my day up...... i managed to get what i thought was a HUGE 7/2 on Citronnade.
