Why do those other two fillies matter if they're not running in the Derby?

It would be the 19 other COLTS I'd be worried about. LOL

Before spouting off about the West Coast girls...

1. She's actually faster off this race than Rags to Riches.

2. Magnificience needs to do her thing around two turns.

And she's got a 10 race foundation under her, unlike many colts rushing at the Derby. Not the craziest notion to swing for the fences... He nominated her for the TC last year for a reason.

Hartlage/Johnson have a hard enough time winning bottom level claiming races, much less the Kentucky Derby. This is insanity.

There is nothing wrong with the Oaks. I would love to see a filly in the Derby though.

If Sumwon has a good race tomorrow, I'm looking forward to hearing Steve announce on Atrab that "we haven't ruled out the derby yet".

Hey maybe it's her owners first and last chance. Many before them have ran horses with a whole lot less chance so why not them? People on here act like they wouldn't get Derby fever when many on here are going crazy over a Mid level claimer racing way over her head in a race at Keeneland on Wed. I'm just saying if they'll let her in the gate and she was maybe my only chance at ever starting a horse in the Derby then load her up I'd say to the starter crew.

She'll be lucky to run in the money for the Oaks, much less finish in the top 15 of the Derby. They're out of their freakin' minds if they run this horse in the Derby off of a gift pace scenario in the Fantasy.

also... im not a huge fan of Rags to Riches but i am a huge fan of Magnificience and i have no doubt in my mind that she would beat high heels by open lenghts around 2 turns, regardless of the experience and the 10 race foundation

Dude, what has Magnificience done around two turns?! Do you have a crystal ball to predict that she'll do so convincingly? You have no rhyme or reason to your bold proclamations and it's hilarious!

Actually High Heels is faster at this point than RTR and Magnificence is said to be sold and remain in California and skip the Oaks and try for G 1 black type out there.
