I'd like to see her beat Vacare first. If Vacare progresses at all into her four year old season, she's going to be a monster.

im not that high on her, but who am i ? i definitly dont think shes as good as drf.com thinks she is rating her the 3rd best turf filly in america, i'd prefer Citronnade over her.

Vacare is...undefeated...picture perfect in every start. She may be untested, but at this point in time she has to be respected. I think Mauralakana who she beat at Keeneland then was mis-placed in the BC F&M Turf is a nice filly.

vacare is very nice, but i think Citronnade has a nicer future on the green

Not sure when she's back, but she's been working in Florida.

I think that they're ranking her on the same basis that I believe -- that she's going to come back better this year than last year. Look at Citronnade -- and their one meeting in the QE II at Keeneland. Vacare absolutely crushed her.

Then, look how well Citronnade came back this year, so if we even begin to imagine that Vacare got any better than she was last year she's going to make a serious hoofprint on the division.

Well that, and someone's gotta beat her first. At least now that she's four we'll get to see her take on some of the big girls instead of 3yos only.

Frankel does have the best Turf Filly in the country, but it's PRICE TAG.

A couple of turf colts to look out for are Mast Track and Whatsthescript. Whatsthescript has been running out in Cali, and has shown great grass form. He failed miserably in his only dirt race, but could have been suffering from some soundness issues because he took three months off after that. In his comeback race on the turf, the horse delivered.

Mast Track is the Bobby Frankel trainee (he also owns the horse) that just broke his maiden by three at the Fairgrounds even though he ran greenly and was under a strangle hold. Frankel has turned down quite a bit of money for this colt, and I believe that he could be a future star.
