Wasnt long ago when they had to have two divisions

...and even had to exclude some horses from running in the Oceanside. Not looking good right now unless you own a horse running in one of those short fields.

Looking forward to watching Twirling candy. Should be interesting on Turf

been many years there was only one division as well.

There will be uber speed in this race!

I like Domonation, if he can handle turf.

My money will be on Hockley... Flores up :tro:


(the past 6 winners exited a race at a mile or longer)


Plus grew up not far from Katy-Hockley :D

Hmm you may have just convinced me with that statistic...

Yes, but this is still the best turf race in months out there.

If you want a price alternative, an intriguing horse here is Killer Bear. Granted his best work has come versus Cal-breds, but he's 20-1, possible to float higher, and seems to have exactly what's needed in a field well stocked with pace setters and pressers. Horses that succeed at 7-7.5f are generally dangerous in settings like this. One of three signed on that has faced elders, and worth a flyer at jumbo tote.

I think last year was the first time in 20 years that it wasn't split.

Yea, though I had thought it happened once or twice about a decade ago......I am getting old.

I like Gallant Gent in here, statswise he looks poor dam is 0 for 6 for turfers and he is trained by low % Lewis, but I think he should be some value in a wide open race.

Well that was quite the chalkful race

Twirling candy may end up the best of this years class.
