International runners ~ American Oaks, Cash Call Mile
From Racing Post.....
Tango could contest American Oaks by Keith Hamer ALEXANDER TANGO, fourth to Finsceal Beo in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, could be in line for a trip to the US for the $750,000 American Oaks. The Grade 1 event at Hollywood Park on July 7 is one of three options for the Tommy Stack-trained filly. "There are three races under consideration for her - the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and the American Oaks at Hollywood Park. "It will be one of the three. I will talk to the owner later in the week," said Stack's son andassistant, Fozzy. "She's in great shape." Alexander Tango also holds an entry in the Darley Irish Oaks on July 15. * * * From FoxSports AU... Anamato On Target For America (no author listed) Oaks winner Anamato is on target for her trip to America after her rousing exhibition gallop at Moonee Valley on Saturday. Anamato is booked to be flown to California next weekend where she will contest the G1 America Oaks at Hollywood park on July 7. Her appearance at Moonee Valley was a necessity as trainer David Hayes admitted he had given the filly an easy time since her last start win in the Austraslaian Oaks at Morphettville on April 21. "I wanted to give her a hard hit out because she hasn't run for a long time," Hayes said. "She worked well and now I know what I can do with her before she leaves next weekend." Hayes called on John Didham to ride Anamato in Saturday's gallop with stablemate Mercia. The pair worked off from the 1600m with Mercia leading out by two lengths until Didham asked Anamato to extend over the last 400m. She made up the leeway on her companion to win the gallop narrowly, running home her last 400m in a smart 23.59 seconds. Hayes is not concerned that Anamato will arrive in California three weeks before she is due to race. "I'd like her to settle in and be fully acclimatised by the time the race is on," he said. Anamato will be the first Australian-trained filly to run in the American Oaks, a race that has attracted several runners from New Zealand and Japan in recent years. The Redoute's Choice filly will be a worthy representative as she ranks among the best fillies of the season with her wins in the G1 Australasian Oaks and G2 Kewney Stakes and a third behind Miss Finland and Tuesday Joy in the G1 VRC Oaks at Flemignton last November. * * * ... and the runners from Japan..... Robe Decollete (to the Oaks), Koiuta, Kiss to Heaven, and Dia de la Novia possible for the Cash Call mile. Pink Cameo was (slightly) injured and is out...

I like the fact that they're moving the Cashcall mile to Friday night, July 6th.
Should be an interesting field assembled. I think Pletcher is sending Wait a while back to California for this one.

I don't think the Hayes runner from Australia will be very competitive...
All depending on who is in the race, but she isn't top level down-under. They should have sent Miss Finland. That would have been an ass-whipping.

From HP barn notes.....
JAPANESE QUARTET TO SHIP FOR TWO RICH FEMALE RACES Japan, a dominant force in the American Oaks and CashCall Mile at Hollywood Park, will again be well represented this year. Robe Decollete, winner of the Japanese Oaks, will be flown to California on June 25 for the $750,000 American Oaks on July 7. She will be accompanied by three aspirants in the $1-million CashCall Mile on July 6: Koiuta, Kiss To Heaven and Dia De La Novia. Japan sandwiched an American Oaks victory by Cesario in 2005 between runner-up finishes by Dance in the Mood in 2004 and Asahi Rising in 2006. Dance in the Mood returned to win the CashCall Mile last year. Yuichi Fukunaga, who rode Cesario, has taken the call in the Grade I American Oaks at 1 ¼ miles on turf for trainer Shikegi Matsumoto. Robe Decollete is an American-bred daughter of Cozzene. Dia De La Novia is owned by Carrot Farm and trained by Katsuhiko Sumii, the same connections as Cesario. Kiss To Heaven is owned by Kazuko Yoshida, a member of a prominent breeding family. Koiuta is owned by a famous Japanese singer, Maekawa Kikaku. Anamato, the first Australian representative in the American Oaks, is scheduled to arrive from Australia Sunday night with groom Susan Kerr. John Connell, assistant to trainer David Hayes, is scheduled to arrive later this week to supervise the Australasian Oaks winner.
