First time I've seen all the pp's on the same page and man there is a lot of speed in there. The very versatile Rosalind could be the beneficiary.

Not that I want this but, has there ever been any talk of expanding the Oaks field to the 20 that the Derby has? Just curious..............

don't think there's enough room to put the aux gate on the oval (remember the outer rail bends back to accommodate the gate for the 1 1/4 distance.

Last year Andy sent out the Golden Tweet. Orb was my #1 in the Derby and Andy sent out a tweet stating that he thought the pace would melt in the Oaks and gave 3 horses including Princess. Put a $20 Saver Oaks/Derby Double on the 3 and Orb at the last second. Looking for the Golden Tweet again. Yes this is a redboard but I have shown enough beatdowns in the Selctions thread to get a pass.

While we are talking about Andy, he seemed to love Sophia last time. I think he said a few times that she could be Untapable's main competition.

House Rules not going to run, so Fiftyshadesofgold looks to draw in.

Agree. And Got Lucky can get a piece on the back. Last year I was absolutely convinced a meltdown was coming and Princess would benefit. Unfortunately I didn't know how great Beholder was at the time, figuring she would be one of the ones that faded to the middle of the pack.
