She CANNOT win the Mile...cannot...last year's field was a joke...I even bet Artie Schiller in there and we know what he really is...last year's Mile was horrendous....her only chance at winning will be in the F&M Turf - or she won't win at all....
I happen to like Biancone too...nice guy and I spent some time at Rick's Cabernet with him when he was in New Orleans a couple of years ago

, and I like Gorella - but this year's Mile cannot be won if George Washington and Librettist show up, and thats not even mentioning Aragorn (who I don't care for in that spot)...
You might need to be prepared to eat creaux (Cajun verbage) when she runs off the board in the Mile....
A wise trainer once told me that girls run against girls for a reason and very few fillies can beat boys consistently....not a more statistically factual statement in racing....this very trainer has won the Kentucky Oaks before and is widely regarded as one of the best trainers in our game...
