  • jinlie01 · Royal Delta in a romp...sat right behind the lead and made her move...lugged in badly but she still ran and was best. Too bad her odds were only 5-1 but I'll take the win. Looks like she's moving forward well and BC Distaff looks logical at end of year..Spinster or Beldame next? · 279 days ago ·

  • bornstar · I just finished handicapping this one and St. Johns is the best bet. Like you said the distance will suit her well and Plum Pretty and It's Tricky will probably get into a speed duel opening it up for her to make the late charge. · 282 days ago ·

  • Zenyatta-Perfection Personified · Totally agree with about Keertana being best of the Turf Females, and I am so happy to see my favourite guy, Pants On Fire, getting some respect. But watch out for Ruler On Ice in the Haskell. He will have some serious speed to close into. · 304 days ago ·
