I dont mind all the women who make the $2 bets and u putting your money on her,it just brings her odds down and other ones up.

I am just saying that what I keep hearing. We think she will like the longer distance,the distance is perfect we just gotta see how she works out
She's just as fast as most of the field.

Running against males isn't going to make Devil May Care run any slower. The only thing that might stop her is traffic problems, but every horse in the field will have to deal with that.

I don't understand why people can't grasp this.

Putting the Derby aside, I don't think she can beat Blind Luck in the Oaks.

With ESKENDEREYA out of the Derby lineup, Churchill ML oddsmaker Mike Battaglia says LOOKIN AT LUCKY will be made the 'solid favorite' Wednesday at an estimated 3-1. Battaglia believes he will have SIDNEY'S CANDY as about a 6-1 second choice, and AWESOME ACT the 8-1 third choice.

Battaglia added he believes that should DEVIL MAY CARE run in the Derby, she would go off as no worse than 6th choice, and likely as the shortest price of the Pletcher runners...

Interesting but you will not get 6-1 on Sidney's Candy on Sat.

That is a shame. Rule is being overlooked by many, and I like his chances, especially with Dominguez aboard.

It's looking more likely that Jackson Bend will get in -anyone know who may ride him?

I was watching Rule and loved his last race, but it appears to have knocked him out for awhile.

Rule looks like a headcase to me ... just has that crazy eye. *shrugs*
