I believe none. Action This Day and Indian Blessing both had only two starts and that's the fewest any winners have had.

I think UBS and Brocco both had two starts as well.

Interestingly and somewhat obviously enough, the last three Juv Fillies winners at SA won the Oak Leaf.

I have basically no opinion on this year's Juv Fillies as it is by far the race on Friday I'm looking forward to the least. Except that I think Connie and Michael won't win.

I thought Blind Luck's last two races were strong...

One of Indian Blessings was a Grade 1.

King Glorious, given the work, would you send Girolamo to the Cigar Mile? It doesn't sound like he's that happy with the surface.....he usually works much better than this. Is it possible perhaps Godolphin wanted to put a stiff work into him because he's inexperienced?

I assume you mean Girolamao and not King Glorious? The colt is one of my favorite horses and he's got a lot of questions surrounding him. I respect the opinions of posters on the board and so I ask ?. I hope that's not a problem? I have a few other favorite horses, but I don't need to ask ? about them because they are fairly solid.

I was hoping the obsession was with me. I was flattered. Oh well. As for the horse, I would still enter him in the Classic. I've never been a big work guy in as far as them being indicaters of how a horse will run and with all of the comments I've heard from trainers about SA's surface, there seems to even less correlation between works and races.
