who is a real threat to RA?

She doesn't have to reproduce that effort to win by open lengths.

Is anybody else thinking a part back wheel with Mine that Bird in third might be the bet here?

no kidding, shes got to run better than the last out. did you see what she beat? i think 2 or 3 of them were lucases second stringers and the one good horse scratched. the horses she beat would not finish in the same zip code with these. if people are thinking shes just going to gallop in the front like the last couple races they are sadly mistakened. i think the pace will be her undoing along with the distance. then again i'll never bet short priced fillies because they win about every 20 years or so in one of these things. i can't take that when the betting pattern on her will create overlays. she will have to prove me wrong tommorrow. its not like i have not heard all this before and seen the filly fail at a crappy price.

She can regress a few lengths and still win... who cares about her competition that she destroyed by what looked like the length of a football field. Did you see her fractional times and the final time of the race? It was outstanding and I dont think any 3yo male, including Quality Road would have beat her in the Oaks that day with those strong fractions and final time.
