What are they doing with Red Carpet Ready, who's training up a storm & has a similar profile to the 2016 Oaks winner Cathryn Sophia...that is aside, from not winning the Kentucky Oaks?

Secret Oath continues her march (or 'hang') towards the BC Filly & Mare Sprint. I wonder if Lukas will sit on her until the local Fleur de Lis or try the one turn route at Belmont in the Ogden Phipps.

Munny's Gold not scaring anyone away after failing to take her place as the top filly sprinter amongst her own age group.

Smile Happy recovered from making two 9 furlong starts back-to-back off a 10 month layoff, but will his effort today convince Ken McPeek to target the Met Mile or has he already declared him for the Queen Anne opening day at Royal Ascot?

Hope you had a few bucks on her yesterday

Given that Ness is figuring out how to campaign superior graded quality horses, how can Smile Happy compete with Repo Rocks? Ducking Repo Rocks and heading to Ascot seems the prudent play!
