Not long ago she'd have come back in a money Allowance. Now, these fields come up so soft, it's pretty much the same thing to come back in a G 3 like she did. I thought she ran well. Hopefully the Apple Blossom comes up strong.

Pray tell, Bruce, who the " strong " fillies and mares are that may show up?

Actually, there are a couple of horses that can run a little that could well show up. I wouldn't be surprised to see Lear's Princess in there. Spring Waltz, the Stronach filly that won the Rampart at Gulfstream yesterday, looks like she may be OK ( now that she is racing on real dirt ). I have no idea where Lady Joanne is but I suppose it's not impossible she runs.

On a little tangent here, but that was a brutal stretch call by Wallace. He's so busy creaming his pants because Kettleonup is being "shot out of a cannon" that if you are just listening to his call, you have no idea that Brownie Points is moving up to run a clear-cut 2nd. Kettleonup didn't even finish in the money for cripes sake.

Hystericalady's last 5 dirt races have resulted in 4 wins and one narrow 2nd place finish to sweet trip Ginger Punch in the BC Distaff.

She's winless in four tries on a synthetic - losing to a claimer last time out - and wasting a super easy trip and still getting run down by Tough Tiz's Sis two back on synthetic.

Her pair of losses to Noshoba's Key came in just career starts #4 and #5 for NK, and they were very conclusive losses to a very lightly raced filly.

i never paid attention to his calls--i really don't pay attention to any of them--but after he was brought up a few weeks ago on here, i started listening.

he's not that good.

Hysterical Lady is a very nice horse.

I don't know what's up with Ginger Punch, but she's a very nice horse and the race seems logical for her.

Spring Waltz looked terrific yeaterday, pairing up 106's and is a great story after not running until the summer of her 4 yo year.

I don't know what the plans are for Lady Joanne or Lears Princess.

I think if 3 of those five run, it's a strong field. It's also the only G 1 long dirt race for older Fillies and Mares until Belmont in June so it's not far flung some of these are pointing there.

Ginger Punch and Spring Waltz will be kept apart I assume. It's too bad we can't still ask that guy who pretends to work for Frankel.

I obviously agree with the rest.
