Fee Fi Fo Fum had an absolutely perfect trip in the Bonnie Miss and did, at most, a negligible amount of running. I don't understand how you can say about Boca Grande, who at least ran OK in winning the Demoiselle, " she hasn't shown me anything yet to include her on my ticket with the likes of Fee Fi Fo Fum in the race " when the " likes of Fee Fi Fo Fum " seems, at best, to be fair.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not thrilled with Boca Grande's chances tomorrow, but as of now she is a far more accomplished horse than Fee Fi Fo Fum. Maybe that will change, but right now that's the case.

I've only capped this on the basis of the Brisnet figures so the Beyers may paint a very different picture but in the Brisnet number Boca Grande is very slow. I've watched Get Ready Bertie be drastically overbet this year when she looked terrible on the Brisnet figures and now I expect the same with Boca Grande. We'll see who comes out on top tomorrow but I'll be betting it is FFFF or the Pletcher filly and most definitely not Boca Grande (despite the fact that I like her a lot).
