I like Misty Ocean in the Delmar Oaks, of the stakes races today she looks like one of the better bets to land on.

I missed the race today and just now looked at results.

Jesus! How did she look?

Cheers to anyone if they had her.

Good luck to Lightmyfirebaby (I know, I know... I just like her though) tomorrow.

Don't know where she pulled that performance out of the hat? I should have expanded my opinions yesterday but I truly thought the favorites were vulnerable in particular Satan's Circus. She had a perfect trip via the same Arlington Million winning Jockey in her previous race but just sort was one paced in the stretch. Going from 14/1 to 6/5 in that span was certainly not attractive. Storm Mesa's trip in her last wasn't as bad as made out and actually helped her I thought, great score for anyone who took a chance on Magical Fantasy. 42/1 was certainly an overlay. The only thing I can grasp on is perhaps she liked the Delmar turf course as it is different to Hollywood Park.

Misty Ocean looks like she wants to run too fast in the early part of her races, will place her on my watch when she cuts back to a sprint. Tab this one for later.
