I will always bet a horse in that situation and will do so here as long as Octave goes off as the favorite as I expect she will.

I agree 110% Octave was flying down the stretch in The Alabama, Calvin rode Lady Joanne much smarter than JV rode Octave. JV had no where to go trying to get to that inside. A little more space along that rail and Octave wins the Alabama, IMHO.

She's wins the Cottilion with ease.
