I would ride Octavian's sister anyday. I'm not sure what the actual name of that actress is...but I loved her in Rome and she would make a fine mount.

She had no Irish accent...

She didn't break as bad but the race being at the same track and distance it reminded me of Princess Arabella's maiden win.

Indian Charlie loves Princess Arabella so she's probably going to prove as fragile as can be... but I'm not sure she's even one of the 10 best 3yo's in Baffert's operation.

Is the rising star a 2 or 3 yr old ? He kind of reminds one of Mayakovsky's debut when he broke the 5.5 F track record at Spa in ntr103.32 on opening day 2001. Ironically, Mike Tabor owned him and Tony Farina was aboard for his last race.

Dunno. Waiting for the announcement too. Track opens in a couple of weeks weather permitting for works.

True enough, though she lost a little luster in my eyes after the second start. I'd like to see her taken back some next time out.

By the way, speaking of fragile, whats the name of that El Prado (I think) filly you went all gaga over a few months ago? I honestly cannot remember the name of that filly. Has she run again?

Table Three Ten.

She won 2nd time out for the new barn. She's 2-for-2 now and she's entered in the Rachel Alexandra this weekend at FG.

After her maiden win and purchase she reportedly "got sick" and missed a few weeks of training. Her alw win was nothing to write home about, but it wasn't bad or anything.

An easy winner second time out to remain undefeated. Lasix is obviously a performance enhancer and should be banned so horses can be compromised and bleed freely.
