Though main track condition will be a giant question mark, talent, and potentially devastating talent, of Paradise Woods looms large over this Oaks and as an ideal bulwark of your Oaks-Derby Double and Oaks-Woodford-Derby P3. As Mandella said after the Santa Anita Oaks, he didn’t think he’d ever nominated a filly to the Triple Crown during his Hall of Fame career. Will take a huge effort from one of the other solid players from the division to beat her and Farrell looks to be the one that has the best chance on heels of patient Fair Grounds Oaks win and weeks of strong work into the assignment. Ever So Clever and Miss Sky Warrior are logical fillies to respect and I’ll try to get Ashland upsetter Sailor’s Valentine into the tri/super with a late run at boxcars..
