I agree she appears a cut below several of these though.

I agree she is a cut below, but she always seems to find a way into second place

Hey, I'm with you... I won't be leaving her off my tickets.

Churchill Downs officials are expecting an overflow cast for the April 30 Kentucky Oaks, with the 14-horse limit surely having to be invoked.

As of Wednesday, these are the fillies who would make the cutoff for the Grade 1, $500,000 Oaks based on graded earnings: Ailalea, Amen Hallelujah, Beautician, Blind Luck, Crisp, Devil May Care, Evening Jewel, It's Tea Time, Joanie's Catch, Jody Slew, Quiet Temper, Sassy Image, She Be Wild, and Tidal Pool. The connections of another five or six fillies say they want in if possible.

Dude, I just read she suffered a fracture and is out of the Oaks.

why do they limit the oaks to 14, but let 20 in the derby?
