Distaff counterpoint to the Jaipur honors Juddmonte & Frankel’s $2,000,000 earning ’05 BC F&M Turf winner. Tremendously competitive group with what looks to be a spirited pace. Baffert moves Faypien to the lawn here and being out of a Freud mare, could like it. We scored with Drysdale’s La Sardane at Churchill and she looks plenty inviting at 20-1 in her N. A. stakes debut.

8th: 5th Wonder Again (G3), 3yo-F, 9f-IT (DD)

As Tweeted this morning, there is a real harmony of NYRA conducting the Intercontinental & Wonder Again concurrently, their careers culminating together in the 2005 Breeder’s Cup F&M Turf which was their 4th meeting. Wonder Again had vanquished Juddmonte Farms’ Hasili daughter in the 2004 Diana, but lost to her in the 2004 Just a Game & in the Cup. They both were beaten by Sand Springs in the 2005 Just a Game which hints at how terrific the Division was at that time with these mares as well as Ouija Board, Ticker Tape, Riskaverse, Film Maker, Moscow Burning, Megahertz and more..

Outstanding set of soph gals here with the favorites looking imposing. Significant Form better keep tabs on Animosity SCR’D(15-1) up front, though Wertheimer Euro poacher Armoricaine could be attending the pace too. ‘Other’ Chad Brown runners Altea (8-1) & Mighty Scarlett (8-1), Weaver’s Daddy Is a Legend (7-2) and Lynch’s La Signare (6-1), who lost to stunning Toinette at KEE, all have license to perform..

Most Likely: #5 Significant Form 8-5 2nd

Preakness Day dawning as wet as feared as it rains steadily with forecast saying it will continue. Expect sloppy as opposed muddy as it doesn’t look like there will be a ‘drying out’ track scenario. Grass portion of the card is destroyed with only the Gallorette staying on the soft turf. Let’s try to make the best of it and get them all around safe here and everywhere today.
