Lemons needs a new jockey with better timing. She also needs to go turf. She would be a monster on the turf with that pedigree. Dallas Stewart was bent to hell trying to win a race in New York when she obviously wasn't even training well. And Guidry kept messing with her running style. Tracking closer to the pace in some races and then going back to a closing kick in other races but missing the timing.

First off, the unadjusted time for the Oaks means nothing. The figure came back weak. As for the rider, Guidry is one of the best finishers in the country. A different rider up and LF maybe moves too soon in the Oaks. Unlike the 3YO colts who were very strong this year, the filly group was very subpar.
