3/5-7 (CD): Derby Future Wager - Pool 2

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Yeah - there's no run-up going a 1-turn mile at GP. That's why the opening quarter always comes back impossibly slow in those races.

The pace was lively enough early - and Amen and Bickersons ran a spectacular 3rd quarter together. Both of them had a right to fold in the stretch .. Bickerson did - and Amen Hall drew off and won in final time faster than Graded Stakes older females went 30 minutes prior.

I understand her pedigree is sprint speed oriented .. but I doubt an extra furlong will do her in.

I'm not betting her in the Oaks futures - but I would rate her more likely than any other filly to win it.
