Last year the Oaks was won in very convincing fashion by another Japanese bred horse named Cesario. DITM ran second I believe in the previous year.

It was one of the most dominating wins I can remember. She absolutely crushed that field.

hell of a race by cesario last year in the oaks...i think she suffered an injury and it just wouldn't completely heal. shame when the good ones have to quit.

She was so big and yet so fast that you could tell it would be hard to keep her sound....she wore front wraps when she won last year....can't wait to see if her babies are as big as her!

when they announced her retirement they said no breeding plans...wonder who they send her to.....SS sure stamped his progeny, and theirs as well! too look at cesario, you'd think she was one of his, but she's a granddaughter. ligament injury, they said she'd be off at least a year so they retired her.

just saw in the newest bloodhorse that Sunday Silence is #1 on the international sires list. he was to japan what northern dancer was to the u.s. and europe. amazing the impact that horse has had.

First and foremost : I am not Mike Chamberlain , He is tho a great announcer whom gets no respect. Also I am not from evangeline or delta. I am an announcer you hear everyday . Does it really matter who I am . I made an opinion. I do not bash announcers unless I think they are horrible and if you had any clue about how hard this job is or what it takes to do it than you would understand. In any event I am who I am

They Are Off And Racccciiinggggggggggggg

Down with battaglia the horror this man brings to my occupation
