It's no secret that I think Blind Luck is very good. She's shown the ability to run against the setup, something none of the other fillies in the race have demonstrated. In fact, there are quite a few that need a perfect setup to win.

If I didn't know that Blind Luck was so good, I'd bet Tidal Pool off her last race. Off that race, she's the play as she got the worst of it and Blind Luck got a perfect trip. The problem, of course, is that Blind Luck has shown she can run over horses when she doesn't get the setup in her favor.

Blind Luck

Is there any way she floats up to 5/2 or dare say 3-1?

No chance. 9/5 at the highest IMO.

I'm just hoping the 100,000 women at the track today like horses with different names :)

I know exactly what you are saying. I just think that even if she floated up to 5/2 somehow, anybody with a brain would be pounding her back down to 9/5 with late $$.

very true. I wonder if I still should throw some money down on her at 9/5 or just play her in an exacta with Tidal Pool. I'm using both horses in an Oaks / Derby double & hoping a pricey horse scores in the Derby.

That pretty much the only way to make $ in the oaks this year IMO!

Anyone else interested to see what It's Tea Time can do with the added distance and her first race on dirt?

Should be an interesting race for her -- I wouldn't be surprised to see her get up into the money.

Yeah I hear ya. I've got Tidal Pool at 23-1, so I'm just going to ride it out even though I believe Blind Luck is a clear standout.

I have an Oaks Future bet on Jody Slew. So I'll be hoping that the 7th place finish in the Fair Grounds Oaks was caused by the problem she had a couple of weeks before the race.

I'll guess Crisp will move up on dirt today, double digits.

94 Beyer for the winner.

Oh good...now we know the horsey really did win.
