She is not even trying to be that fast. It is really remarkable.

Looked even more impressive the second time I watched it.

Pretty good for a horse that wouldnt vet out. The field wasnt great but an effortless 20 length victory in the KY Oaks is pretty damn impressive. Dont know the vet who failed her but he spared us the sight of some unattractive connections celebrating in the winners circle.

too true. thank goodness for that.

too bad they didn't go for the gusto and run her tomorrow. i'll have to watch the race when i get home, still stuck at work. i'm not surprised at all that she won easy.
i wasn't expecting 20 lengths...but i can't say i'm shocked either.

so, they've bought into three horses, paying out oodles of money. that's gotten them no oaks runner, and now, no derby starters either.
they need to re-think their strategic plan.

RA was flattered today by Afleet Deceit (who RA defeated soundly on several occasions at OP).
Today Afleet Deceit won the Double Delta at AP by two, finishing over 5 lengths in front of Ashland winner Hooh Why.
