Id add Electrocutionist's Dubai race to the list as well....

i think seek golds win is too far down on the list. i think the tin man shouldn't have been included. that race is what it is. a slow front runner deserves no more grief than a late closer who had a ton of pace to run at.
i think including pine island is in bad taste.

Any NJ Bred allowance races at Meadowlands and Monmouth,
They are just way over inflated 5k to 10k claiming races.

J-breds have the best deal in racing.

Tops on my list would also have Circular Quay's Hopeful & Scat Daddy's Champagne.

1) Wonder Lady Anne- Coaching Club (JJ Castellano with an absolute moronic ride on the late great Pine Island)

2) Brother Derek- San Rafael (Speed bias, 4 hamsters)

3) Lemons Forever- Oaks (Race fell apart and was filled with mediocrity to begin with)

4) Jazil- Belmont (Although not his fault he beat a bunch of gerbils)

5) Scat Daddy- Champagne (Rat Daddy is a better name)

6) Bernardini- Jim Dandy (Most overrated race call by Tom Durkin. It wasnt really as hot as he made it out to be, way exaggerated)

7) Seek Gold- Foster (Perfect Drift is a high priced hanger, I could have gotten by him with a broken leg)

Hey, don't be picking on my girl Lemons -- she's a good horse. And that field was damn good. Wait a While. Bushfire. One of the fastest Oaks in history. Lemons ran a monster race that day and she'll do it again. Circled the field from last to get that final time.

Lemons needs a new jockey with better timing. She also needs to go turf. She would be a monster on the turf with that pedigree. Dallas Stewart was bent to hell trying to win a race in New York when she obviously wasn't even training well. And Guidry kept messing with her running style. Tracking closer to the pace in some races and then going back to a closing kick in other races but missing the timing.

Lemons needs things to break perfectly for her and there to be traffic trouble like there was in the Oaks. The race completely fell apart. How could it be one of the fastest Oaks in history when her beyer didnt exceed 100?

I had very little money invested in this as I liked Balance but didnt trust her all that much. Wait a While did run very well.

First off, the unadjusted time for the Oaks means nothing. The figure came back weak. As for the rider, Guidry is one of the best finishers in the country. A different rider up and LF maybe moves too soon in the Oaks. Unlike the 3YO colts who were very strong this year, the filly group was very subpar.
