One would think, but I'm afraid she McPeeked.

She has run a very unconventional campaign this year but is certainly talented. She should get a dream set up and will be a huge price. Maybe she isn't the same horse she was at two but I am intrigued.

I agree. Her campaign with the two poly races will definitely clutter her form. I don't really understand the logic behind her placement this year, but it could have been McPeek fell behind schedule this winter at GP. I laughed when he was touting her in DRF for the Lexington...

Because of the pace senerio I think she will take more action than would normally be justified, at least in the multirace sequences.

I get that the pace dynamics could collapse the race, but I have a hard time envisioning Beholder, Dreaming of Julia, Midnight Lucky and Unlimited Budget ALL sh*tting the bed in this race and giving Pure Fun a chance to steal it.

This is going to be a fun race.

Unless everyone else grabs Beholder doesn't have a prayer in the Oaks. She has got soft trip after soft trip and beat absolutely nothing since the Breeders Cup.

Not following this logic. I was against her in the BC because I thought she was simply a sprinter. She has proven otherwise. If she gets the lead and it's hard to make up ground that day at CD she has a shot.

I'm not saying that she will win but I'm certainly not tossing her.

Can you explain your theory a little more?

Why would one assume that it would be to close? There's about 4 other big speeds. Good luck to her, if she wins she is much better than I thought she was. She's literally my second throw out right after Julia.

Good call on her price. I thought the morning line maker might bring her down a little because of the projected race dynamics.
