might be a stupid question but oh well, does everyone think Rachel Alexandra is a free square for these PK4-5's? I've never seen her race but obviously her form looks impresssive.
with that being said i think FF is in for a tough race and would HIGHLY doubt she's 5-2 or less by post time. I really think Pegasus and Terrian have a good shot here, especially at those juicy prices -bt-

Weather is still 50 to 60% rain, but they can't seem to decide when this front is coming through or if it will drop down far enough to affect us, but my suggestion is to cap for dry and back up with wet conditions. Interesting tidbit didn't realize, if Friesan Fire wins the LA Derby he will be the first horse to win all 3 derby trials since Dixieland Heat in 1993.

Maybe, but I doubt it, she is probably 1/5, although people might play Four Gifts because of Assmussen

One station says the big front and storms will move through around 6 pm but intermittent rain all day. Yet another station says the front may not make it down this far....

This is a really good sequence of races. I wish the Oaks was not part of their big pick four and pick five offering, as I really find it hard to go against Rachel Alexandra. That said, the NO Handicap has lots of factors at play, the Muniz is extremely wide-open and the LA Derby is filled with various opinions.
