She should have won the start that the Roman's horse beat her at Churchill two back also but if I remember correctly the jock tried creating a hole instead of trying to get clear and or wait for one.

Yeah the mile at Oaklawn is a two turn mile and the win % outside of the seven hole is not great either. For her to run a 1:36 and change winning by over 8 lenghts says alot about her.

Wiggins is looking at the $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks for her next start. It should be a dandy as she faces off against War Echo, Just Jenda, Flying Spur, and whoever ships in.

Hal Wiggins, whom I have wanted for a visit for ages, was on ATR last night.. Hour 1 at about 4:35...

Unfortunately, after the show, I came across something that makes me believe the filly is being negotiated upon for a sale. And if it happens, she will be moved from Wiggins.

i saw a quote in the paper yesterday that led me to believe if the right price were offered that she would be sold.
