You know I was hyping Boca Grande before she ever started but I think she's been horrifically overrated over that slow stakes win. Not that she couldn't improve here but she hasn't shown me anything yet to include her on my ticket with the likes of Fee Fi Fo Fum in the race. We going to have a Cinderella/Jack and the Beanstalk Oaks exacta?

I'm not sure I would elevate the Bonnie Miss because of the results of the polytrack Ashland. First of all, the easy winner was a very mediocre 4th with the second finisher a dream trip winner. But, mostly using two different surfaces to legitimize ( or minimize ) one of the races seems tricky at best.

Fee Fi Fo Fum had an absolutely perfect trip in the Bonnie Miss and did, at most, a negligible amount of running. I don't understand how you can say about Boca Grande, who at least ran OK in winning the Demoiselle, " she hasn't shown me anything yet to include her on my ticket with the likes of Fee Fi Fo Fum in the race " when the " likes of Fee Fi Fo Fum " seems, at best, to be fair.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not thrilled with Boca Grande's chances tomorrow, but as of now she is a far more accomplished horse than Fee Fi Fo Fum. Maybe that will change, but right now that's the case.
