Hope Ender Knevil is worth Johnny V's trip to New Mexico.

It's his only mount of the day, albeit, in a $800K race.

I'm interested to see Princess Arabella. If you watch HRTV most of them seem to think she already won the Oaks.

I had Isn't He Clever in the top spot and used Daddy Nose Best underneath.

I had nothing.

Very nice ride by Joel back here at home. I hope he always has the mount on Bourbon Bay who, of course, I totally forgot to play.

I'm glad he won though.

Princess Arabella? Wow.

It'll be interesting to see if Princess Arabella has another run before the Kentucky Oaks. If not, her hype may ensure favoritism in that race, even though all she did today was something already done by On Fire Baby and Grace Hall last year (pummel Glinda The Good by open lengths).

I wonder if Aubby K. can stretch out. No mean feat destroying older horses this early in the year at a top-tier racetrack.

I'm glad he went. I'd much rather see Joel ride Bourbon Bay on Sunday.

IMO the track favors speed but is mostly fair to all styles.
