I'm leaning towards Backseat Rhytmn and Raw Silk.

I didn't like Lady of Venice at all. She ran last ON THE INSIDE last out, in a race where everything that ran was on the inside, basically sucking up the entire race.

And, the only workout I show for PC is the end of June at CD. Did she work at HOL?

I don't think she worked out here. I just saw both horses gallop and neither looked pretty.

That filly is amazing. She looks so sore galloping in the morning. Then she washes out really bad in the post parade and she still wins. She's a really good filly.

That was about as comprehensive an ASS KICKING as one would want. The freak wins and the GUTLESS ONES (RS and BR) run, well, like gutless ones. Those sub 49 halfs are tough to deal with, I know.

I don't think sore is what you're seeing in her morning gallops.......she's just one of the quirkiest filly I've ever been around. She hasn't changed much since she was first brought to our stable when she was a 2 y.o. Also, she's never been a good "work" horse. She's lazy when she has to work. However, she's always shown us that she's 100% game when she closes down the stretch. I am finally convinced she's found her "niche" on the turf.

I can't knock her. She is a really good filly. She's just not a very smooth mover in her morning gallops. She looks a little rough. But she runs great in the afternoon when it counts. That's the most important thing.

This has to be just about the most NAIVE statement I've seen in a venue where naive statements is the norm. Finally convinced she's found her niche on the turf? Ha ha ha. Didn't you think she was a freak after watching her 2nd turf race at KEE last fall? Late bursts like that typical? Or don't we ever bother to watch races?

Of course, the connections felt the need to run her on dirt (and poly) so they were about as clueless as to her ability as the workout watchers.

Let's see.....first off she has never ran on Poly. Also, that was her first and only turf race at KEE. Oh, and since Holthus' string ships to Oaklawn for the winter, these "clueless" owners thought maybe they should try her on the dirt (no grass there braniac). Therefore, she was entered in the GII Golden Rod which she won and also set the 60+ year stake record. Now maybe that race didn't impress you. But then again, you've probably got lots to learn.

Well here is a kick in the balls. Have 1,3,5,6,8 in the P4, and I run 1/2/3, but not the right way, thought the 3 had a real shot to win the Oaks......
