I like Off Kilter to upset this field. I know it's a step up, but I've noticed that other horses have run big when it seems they are outclassed on the SoCal circuit.

I don't keep up with SoCal too much, and some that I have seen maybe in the vast minority, but nothing else in this field jumps out at me. I'm just not sold on Ventana.........

Distance shouldn't be a problem for her. Like the 6/1 ML and first turf.

Edit: Strike two.

Do we make anything of Setsuko, or is he just becoming adept at suck-up seconds? Same connections as Goldikova, IIRC.

I kind of like him. Grinding closer. Think Jazil.

Anyone else see the Rafael Bejarano interview and that horrendous outfit and hat that Zoe Cadman is wearing? I gotta think she might not be straight.

That woman creeps the fu*k out of me for some reason

Strike one.
