The problem with betting a horse like that is that she's a totally unknown quantity. Her Euro form is decent enough, but there are simply too many question marks to bet her with any confidence - How long has KMc had to work with her? Will she like poly? Can she go this far?, etc. The only way I could justify betting or using her on top is if (barring a conversation with Kiaran) she were to open up pretty short. I'd still have a lot of doubts, though.

The 12 would be a complete guess, I read a quote from Kieran somewhere he was looking fwd to running her today, nothing more nothing less. Not alot to go on with no works and an obscure turf record that certainly I don't recognize the names she has beaten. I doubt with these high profile connections she will be 20-1 ML...If she does go off that high a couple dollars her way as a saver but that's all.

Tasty Temptation got left at the gate, just stood there, the winner had a perfect trip. Wynning Ride was surprisingly ridden off of the pace by 'smoking Joe' Talamo. I wonder when people will realize this guy makes Mike Smith look like Johnny Longden. At this stage I doubt TT will be any price in the Bison City, 2nd race in the triple tiara, just a thought would like to see her take on the boys in the Plate, that race is wide open and she should fit. Don't know Casse's plans though as he has other options.

As hoped Tasty Temptation a troubled second in the Oaks seems to be headed towards the Plate according to a quote attributed to Mark Casse 'if she trains well', personally I love this move as she has had many troubled trips at Woodbine and Keeneland. She would be my early pick without a reservation and could follow in the footsteps of Rachel Alexandra a filly winning a leg in the triple crown series.
