Good for Pletcher. I'm not her biggest fan but he stuck to his guns and said if only two of the top three go he'd send her. Maybe this is what he needs to break through in the TC...?

Adds a little intrigue to an otherwise very dull race.

This filly was the only real chance he had at any of the triple crown races. Hes the only one that couldnt see that

And this is the only one she had a REAL chance in. Anybody want to wager a guess on her odds at post time? I'll guess 4-1.

I think you will find around here, this is not true. Early on, nobody even thought she belonged with the boys, and only raced against weak fields. With only 3 races prior to the big events, who could blame them.

I believe the horse that finished third in the Derby and won the Preakness went into the Derby with only three prior races, all against weak fields. If u are good, u are good. Her ability is not determined by who she races against; only her results are.

Didnt realize that his owners were blind

Did Pletcher announce who will be riding her yet?

And I'm guessing Prado hasn't been working too hard to find a mount for this race as soon as he saw Gomez and JV get other mounts. He's been waiting on Coolmore's decision.
