OAKS NOTES: Contenders (PP's-Post #26)

[Alan07]

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.

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

just guessing, but maybe because the run to the turn is only a few seconds going 9 furlongs?

If you ask Scuds, I'm sure he'll tell you it's a plot by the fillies to get the males to work harder (or cull the males), so they can breed themselves to the fittest prospective stallions.

After all, thoroughbreds were a creation of the Arabs, and stuff like this is why Muslim men need to keep the women down.

I'm really surprised you'd be so stupid to not realize this on your own.

On second thought, your question is most likely a disingenuous attempt to deflect suspicion away from some nefarious plot you are hatching out.

I now just have to figure out what your evil womanly game is.

no, i was actually asking a serious question...but the answers i'm getting are better than what the real reason might be!
