Default BC Distaff

I think this is going to be a very competitive race. Happy Ticket, Spun Sugar, Fleet Indian, Pool Land, Balletto, Round Pond, and i'm sure a few 3yo's, like Pine Island, Teammate and Bushfire. I like my girl HT, but she's going to have a tuff time of it.

What do ya'll think?

Did Fleet Indian win at Churchill around Thanksgiving last year? If that's the horse were talking about(the horse Angel messed up somehow at Philly,)then I don't think it is that open of a race.I think she is better than these(although the Pine horse is improving.)

hard to say without seeing the actual field, but if Fleet Indian is let loose on the lead, she'll be tough, if not.. someone else will win... I'm looking Pine Island's way at this point.

I think you might be thinking of Indian Vale.... Don't know if she's worked lately.

Default Love Happy Ticket..

You know I love Happy Ticket, but.. keep careful tabs on Miraculous Miss.. A successful move to 2 turns in the Cotillion makes her a fresh, dangerous gal at Churchill...

You gotta stop with Miraculous Miss. They will be lucky if she can get the one turn mile in the Distaff...you know, the one at Aqueduct the day after Thanksgiving.

I'll take Pine Island.

No way anyone gets loose on the lead in this one. This is going to be another speed duel like last year. Will we get another Pleasant Home at longs odds this year or will Pine Island be the one to pick up the pieces?

gonna be a ton of speed in the race, bushfire, fleet indian, teammate for starters. will set up for someone off the pace.

i've gone with pine island all year. not going to jump ship now!!
and i'm thrilled that i read that they think she's just getting started, she's bound to be back next year based on how they're talkiing.

With the cast expected, I like Pine Island to roll em down late and Lemons Freakin Forever (if she goes) to possibly hit the board!

I'll be taking a long look a Balleto. She had no chance in her last when they let Fleet Indian cruise up front. Also, none of the fillies or mares want to get in a scrap with Spun Sugar down the stretch, just ask Happy Ticket and Balleto. It should be one of the better races on the card.
