Informed Decision should have gone in the Commonwealth.

It's really desperation time for Stardom Bound.

There is always Presque Isle.

I wonder when they will try to send Informed Decision a route of ground?

I know she got her ass handed to her in the Davona Dale, but cmon! Try her in a route at Kee!

Sire is a Derby Winner. Broodmare sire is His Majesty.

You'd think it would at least occur to them.

It's a shame such fitting slogans as "The summer place to be" and "The Great Race Place' have been taken up by other tracks.

I know it's far from an accurate way to guess at odds but I've been amazed with how many people have picked Paddy O' Prado in the Maker's Mark-Blue Grass double contest.

What sort of Beyer figure did Paddy O'Prado get for his turf win (the race name escapes me)?

He got a 93 for the win in the Palm Beach.

My issue with Paddy O'Prado is that he was given an extremely clever ride by Jesus Castanon (one of the best riders no one knows about in my opinion) and took advantage of an absolutely baked turf course at GP that played kindly to speed and frontrunners. He scorched a ton of money in three starts prior to the Palm Beach and just seems to me like a horse who benefited from circumstances last time out.

He has shown the ability to rate, though, so I think he'll be ok in here.

Nevermind. The Commonwealth's purse is $50,000 less.
