Normally, I'd be bored with Monomoy Girl staying in her same division and not taking on the challenge of facing the boys but I think in this case, that would be ducking the competition as Swiss Skydiver is probably better than anything she's face in the Oaklawn Hcp.

Why all the love for Letruska.
Isn’t she just the cheap speed Swiss stalks and pounces on top of the stretch and hopes her 4 yo legs out kick MG down the stretch? |

Going with Swiss Skydiver. Don't like Cox running a second horse in here.

Man Irad is so damn good.

Nice race by both Letruska and Monomoy Girl. Great finish. I thought Monomoy Girl had it easy at the 8th pole but Letruska really fought back nicely and got the win.

Good job by Kenny McPeek having Swiss Skydiver ready :rolleyes:

It was either to see how many times he could stop-and-start Swiss Skydiver in a single race or how many different compromised positions he could put her in in a single race. Or both. |

Not sure if that was his idea or McPeek’s but it was dumb. Not really sure what he was doing up the backstretch but I’m not sure it mattered. She was bad today |

Just because it says "Grade 1" doesn't mean you have to believe it... To be honest, I figured that was exactly why they went to Santa Anita in the first place... All is not lost though, since there is still Royal Ascot on the horizon... |

I actually was briefly surprised when he retained the mount. Taking the pulse of the savants that frequent message boards/comments sections a the time, it seemed that most people viewed his comments in light of the draconian whip rules in CA rather than his personal history. |
