  • AndyScoggin · What a great group of fillies. Grace Hall was SO impressive in her last race, but then there is Baffert. Could he take down the Oaks/Derby Double? · 39 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · @Andy - Baffert is in a dream spot right now with Princess Arabella, Mamma Kimbo and Eden's Moon, and that's just the fillies! I agree, Grace Hall looked amazing and won with very little effort. · 39 days ago ·

  • Leo90 · Reneesgotzip would always be my winning ticket in the Kentucky Oaks as well. Las Virgenes was an unfortunate race but in the Oaks, she’ll be bigger and better. Eden’s Moon is a tough contender, but then what race would it be if the field wasn’t strong enough? http://www.horseracingnation.com/blogs/derbywars/ · 48 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · You made very good points about Yara and Zo Impressive in regards to some of their previous races. Personally, I think Disposablepleasure is much better than her 4th place Davona Dale finish would suggest; just look back to her gritty win in the Demoiselle. I believe the match-up between Eden's Moon and Reneesgotzip will be the best of the weekend in the 3-yo filly division. Maybe we can get another BL/HDG rivalry going. Great analysis, Brian! · 59 days ago ·

  • BrianAppleton · Thanks Ashley! I agree with regard to Disposablepleasure. The Davona Dale was her first race of the year and I think she will benefit off that effort, but I don't think she'll get to the top two. All of these fillies are coming into the races looking really good. · 58 days ago ·
