If she runs, toss Eight Belles, she might run third.

I'll be using Proud Spell on about 70% of my tickets, Golden Doc A on about 25% and 5% on A to the Croft....(%'s are focused on this leg being the end of a pick three)

I'm with you on Proud Spell, but my '25%' horse is Country Star. She's capable of running a big one IMO.

Yeah..what to do with Country Star. I find it hard to believe Frankel would run her if she wasn't 100%..although it is hard to figure what happen that last race.

So I've got the 2,3,4,5, and 7 at 4.90-1 from my Pool 1 "field" ticket. I like Little Belle quite a bit already, so I guess I'm set on my Oaks betting.

Anybody have any idea why Leparoux is riding Absolutely Cindy instead of Pure Clan?

Golden Doc A. Kent will win where he's supposed to lose & then he'll lose where he's supposed to win the next day.

I think the race sets up for her real well, and people will have questions in regards to her handling the dirt so the value should be there. I do think that Proud Spell is the horse to beat, regardless if Eight Belles goes or not goes.

A to the Croft ran twice at Keenland (either that, or ran once at Turfway and once at Keenland...I can't remember, but both were on polytrack).
She was short the first time, and had a terrible ride the second time by Robby Albarado.
She may not win, but I think she'll offer good value in the exotics, as I think she'll truly benefit with a return to dirt.
