Funny Moon ran a very nice race yesterday in the Coaching Club American Oaks (good ride bya Alan Garcia). Interesting that in her only other time in Grade 1 company, she got dusted by Gabby's Golden Gal in the Acorn and finished 8th by 23. I also thought Don't Forget Gil ran a monster race in the CCAO, but unfortunately Rajiv Maragh got buried on the inside and couldn't get her out in time.

  • GBeret · Hightap has looked awfully impressive her last couple of outings and imo will be hard to beat in this race. I could maybe give Don't Forget Gil an outside chance if Hightap happens to be off of her game. · 1044 days ago ·
