It's more about Mott hearing that PG1985 liked her.

Stop. You have been on her since Saratoga. I just think she's a nice horse. If Julia doesn't repeat that Gulfstream race Emollient had a chance just like 4-5 others do.

Name the last horse that was trained by Pletcher who repeated a winter Florida performance and lived to tell about it.

A better idea would be for DrugS to create a list for Pletcher trainee's that have ran significantly higher BSF/TG Sheet figs at GP and never replicated them.

Some of these owned by E Robshams and friends come to mind,Quality Road, etc.

Fred I'm against Julia. If they have that 2 day pick 3 I'll be using Unlimited Budget, Close Hatches and Midnight Lucky. I'll wait until tomorrow to decide about Pure Clan. Budget being my A. I really like her.

I'm sure they took that into consideration.

Looking at PPs for Oaks contenders....Nothing but 1s and 2s for just about every horse at every call. 10w going into the first turn?!

I'm of the opinion that the fastest horse should and typically does win a race but it's hard to ignore the pace scenario here. It is possible that everyone tries to rate and a horse like Beholder is able to get a rather easy lead....

If the race were to collapse is Unlimited Budget the most likely beneficiary? That's my initial thought.

Wouldn't Pure Fun be the one to pick them up if it does collapse?

She has run a very unconventional campaign this year but is certainly talented. She should get a dream set up and will be a huge price. Maybe she isn't the same horse she was at two but I am intrigued.

I agree. Her campaign with the two poly races will definitely clutter her form. I don't really understand the logic behind her placement this year, but it could have been McPeek fell behind schedule this winter at GP. I laughed when he was touting her in DRF for the Lexington...

Because of the pace senerio I think she will take more action than would normally be justified, at least in the multirace sequences.

I get that the pace dynamics could collapse the race, but I have a hard time envisioning Beholder, Dreaming of Julia, Midnight Lucky and Unlimited Budget ALL sh*tting the bed in this race and giving Pure Fun a chance to steal it.

This is going to be a fun race.

Unless everyone else grabs Beholder doesn't have a prayer in the Oaks. She has got soft trip after soft trip and beat absolutely nothing since the Breeders Cup.
