Adriano at Colonial and Ruth vs 'Benny
 

That's an interesting pair of grade 3's this weekend at Colonial.

Adriano goes back to turf for Mott and is the second highweight behind Sporting Art.

In the other race, Valbenny squares off against Rutherienne.

Pretty decent grade threes!

Very impressive race last out by Runtherienne. She actually was in the TWO path for a portion of the race. Bet it took a lot out of her.

impressive race ? she ran a no punch third. in cali

i hope they pound sporting art... but i doubt it.

I wonder if Valbenny or Rutherian will be cross entered in the New York Handicap at Belmont.

I also wonder if anyone can beat Sailor's Cap.

Valbenny didn't nominate so I guess she's stuck here. An option for Rutherienne though.

I'm so excited my first visit to Colonial Downs will include seeing Court Vision.

FTFY:cool:

I thought you weren't going until the next day?

In all seriousness, Scrappy T is running on the undercard...I always liked that horse. :)

Im not...just hoping you changed your mind;)

I do hate that I can't get there Saturday, but I am looking forward to being there Sunday.

Sailors Cap is going where? Colonial this weekend?

court vision is running ?

what do u think about Kentucky Bear?

Kentucky Bear is interesting being by Mr. Greeley, who has gotten a lot of turf runners. Don't particularly care for the connections, who have run him in nothing but top level races since his good maiden win, with little to show for it. Was OK in the Blue Grass and made a decent middle move in the Preakness, so there's some potential there, but he would be better served with an allowance race or two before jumping back into stakes.

Did Valbenny win her comeback?

Nope, she didn't have the cleanest of trips either.

Oh man, Nistle's Crunch also...
