4/28 DERBY/OAKS NOTES: Uncle Mo, St. John's River a.m. stars

[Merlinsky]

Forgive me if it's been brought up somewhere and I've just missed it (I haven't had time to catch ATR today yet), but have they decided for sure that Arienza's going to the Oaks? I thought I remembered another race under consideration at Churchill.

http://www.drf.com/blogs/kentucky-oa...-beyer-glasses I saw Mike Watchmaker's Oaks prep Beyers article, and she was listed third to R Heat Lightning and Plum Pretty. Of course, they might not think she's ready yet. How bad was Arienza's BSF for the Fantasy if Joyful Victory's was, I assume, either that 82 or 83 that Mike lists?

Dan Peitz was quoted in an article on DRF saying Arienza will probably go in the Eight Belles
