Normally, I'd be bored with Monomoy Girl staying in her same division and not taking on the challenge of facing the boys but I think in this case, that would be ducking the competition as Swiss Skydiver is probably better than anything she's face in the Oaklawn Hcp.

Seems like it. The Oaklawn handicap doesn't have any names, but it's a more interesting race than when I first looked at it. The Gulfstream race that Fearless comes out of might be a much stronger race than it looks on paper.

Why all the love for Letruska.
Isn’t she just the cheap speed Swiss stalks and pounces on top of the stretch and hopes her 4 yo legs out kick MG down the stretch?

I would never call Letruska cheap, but I also think she’s in deep with these two.
