Was she your KY Oaks selection?

I agree-she has really done nothing and seems the best reason to like her and reason why they wanna run her is she can go the distance???

There are about 4 or 5 horses who have no business and are tosses no matter what for me

Stately Victor-Horse who was nothing until runs big on Poly,now he has a chance. Didnt we see in past years what happens with horses who run big there

Discreetly Mine-

Dean's Kitten-Another 1 doesn't need an explanation

Line of David- who if the Arkansas Derby was another 10 feet would have been 3rd and not even be in the Derby.

Distance? How about the field being terrible and being far from the least likely winner on paper?

Hey if they wanna run her,run her and u wanna bet her,bet her

I dont mind all the women who make the $2 bets and u putting your money on her,it just brings her odds down and other ones up.

I am just saying that what I keep hearing. We think she will like the longer distance,the distance is perfect we just gotta see how she works out

She's just as fast as most of the field.

Running against males isn't going to make Devil May Care run any slower. The only thing that might stop her is traffic problems, but every horse in the field will have to deal with that.

I don't understand why people can't grasp this.

Putting the Derby aside, I don't think she can beat Blind Luck in the Oaks.

With ESKENDEREYA out of the Derby lineup, Churchill ML oddsmaker Mike Battaglia says LOOKIN AT LUCKY will be made the 'solid favorite' Wednesday at an estimated 3-1. Battaglia believes he will have SIDNEY'S CANDY as about a 6-1 second choice, and AWESOME ACT the 8-1 third choice.

Battaglia added he believes that should DEVIL MAY CARE run in the Derby, she would go off as no worse than 6th choice, and likely as the shortest price of the Pletcher runners...

This assessment of the AD is wrong. Welcome to the pools.
