Per Bobby Frankel in today's stable notes on the Santa Anita website:

“I don’t know,” Frankel said when asked if the gray daughter of Tapit would make her next start against colts in the Santa Anita Derby, as firmly indicated after the Las Virgenes by Mike Iavarone, president of IEAH Stables, part owner of the filly. “Cooler heads will prevail,” Frankel continued. “I don’t know. It’s their horse.”

Not exactly a statement brimming with confidence.

In regards to the March 7 Santa Anita Oaks, I believe IEAH is pointing the Hollywood Starlet winner (Laragh) to that race.

You kind of knew that was coming -- Frankel's reaction that is. After the win, barring it wasn't a real "lackluster" performance, you knew the owner(s) would be talking SA Derby, and Frankel would be much more realistic, reserved, wait and see, etc.

Do you think the owner(s) were waiting to compare #'s, times, trips, whatever? Nah. I didn't think there would be any delay at all.
