Oracle/Rupert...Debbie Got Even

Not to me. I thought she looked uncomfortable the whole way and was strictly a distant suck-up second. I may be proven wrong but I think Cotton Blossom is a flat out bum.

The Spinaway winner definitely benefited from ending up lone speed, as you pointed out, which I suppose hampered the others. It just seemed like nobody did anything even remotely effectual behind her. I agree the winner does look like she may be distance challenged and also is vulnerable if confronted on the front end.

I am looking forward to seeing some of the maiden breakers as they seem like the likeliest horses moving forward. Panty Raid is supposed to go in the Matron ( I don't like that she missed the Spinaway with a small " problem " ), as of course is Magical Ride, and I also like the fillies that finished first and second the final Sunday, Imperial Reign and Autobahn Girl.

Maybe G Watts would be better off making a trainer switch to his daughter.

It's basically what I had already heard ( about the roots ). No, it didn't sound great. Let's just keep our fingers crossed. I just don't understand how those courses could be screwed up.
