Echo Zulu and Epicenter imressed me.
She wasn't fully fit off a four month break and dug in to hold off Hidden Connection...by the way, did you catch HC's gallop out? She went ten lengths clear and was still going well when she got to the backside. I'll be waiting for her in the Oaks.
Epicenter showed he could rate and still win for fun.
yeah, the track was kind of speed favoring but I wouldn't downgrade any of those races because of it.

Had a great time out there today

I was very impressed with Epicenter today. He's getting better and he rated so kindly that it bodes well for him going forward.

I get what you say about Echo Zulu. I can't really explain why, but if she makes the KY Oaks, I want no part of her. She needed the race today and I'll probably eat crow but I think she's going to be one of those horses that doesn't really progress from 2 to 3
