On Fire Baby: Derby or Oaks?

On Fire Baby returned to the winners circle with her solid Honeybee Stakes win at Oaklawn Park Saturday and now faces the question of whether to pursue the Kentucky Derby or Oaks.Read More

Mary Z. · So good to see a blog from Brian Appleton! Very informative and you made a case for On Fire Baby as a top contender, but I would say for the Oaks. Even then, talk about having to outrun a pedigree. How far would one have to go back to find other than sprinters or milers in her family tree? About Amie's Dini and the Marsha Washington, the fact that Now I Know came out of the race injured cannot be overlooked as a factor in that victory. · 438 days ago ·

Floridaf · Mary Z., I was going to make the very same point about the Martha Washington. I know yall will think I'm biased since everyone knows how much I love Now I Know, but Amie's Dini never would have won the MW if Now I Know hadn't been injured. With that saying, Amie's Dini is a very game runner, but she doesn't hold a candle to On Fire Baby. OFB will dominate no matter where she runs. I'm very excited about this filly! · 438 days ago ·

KyOaksRunner · I agree Mary Z. in relation to Amie's Dini and Now I Know being injured in the Martha Washington, but I also think her excellent performance against On Fire Baby in the Honeybee validated her win in the Martha Washington. I like that she is still only 5 races into her career with a lot of room and time left to mature. Thanks for the compliment :) · 438 days ago ·

KyOaksRunner · Hey Ashley! (correct me if I'm wrong) :) I pretty much said the same thing to Mary about the Martha Washington. I'm not sure she still wouldn't have won if Now I Know hadn't been injured because she was definitely gaining momentum and moving forward in the stretch. You're right, On Fire Baby is better than Amie's Dini right now, but I'd love to see them match up again down the road if Amie's Dini keeps improving. Two really nice fillies. · 438 days ago ·

annmatt · It is obvious her connections have big plans for their filly...she is talented, and she seems to be getting better and better. If -- big if -- they plan to run her in the KY Derby instead of the Oaks, wouldn't it make more sense to "prep" her in the Fantasy where she probably can leave something in the tank for down the road? Certainly would not question whatever decision is made for her, but, it seems to me she would have to run the race of her life in the Arkansas Derby, setting her up for a "bounce" in the KY Derby. Just my thought, but, what do I know? · 438 days ago ·

KyOaksRunner · If Hartlage and Cauley decide to run their filly in the Derby and not the Oaks I wouldn't give her a great chance to win. She's consistent and durable but not as talented as most of the top tier colts this year. She ran well in the Smarty Jones but that was a relatively weak field in my eyes. She'll have to move up a few levels to be Derby material. Oaks sounds like the most legitimate option for her right now. · 436 days ago ·

mikemoss13 · I'll try to be nice here, but it won't be easy. To those that continue to discount Amie's Dini's victory over Now I Know....I get it. Your horse got hurt in a big race. It's something that I had to deal with just last year, as Archarcharch was injured at the start of last year's Kentucky Derby. Do I talk about how the 14 or 15 horses that finished in front of him, and how they didn't really deserve their placings because my horse was injured? No...get over. I'm sorry for ANY horse to get hurt, period. Now, about the Apple Blossom, no horses go as fast on the lead in the 1 1/16 mile distance as Amie's Dini did, and are able to hold off a great filly such as On Fire Baby. Should they meet again, watch to see which horse pounces down the stretch.... · 436 days ago ·

On Fire Baby and Red Dog on track for Honey

I was recently asked who my top 3 Kentucky Oaks fillies were as of now, and after thinking about how refreshing it was for a little break from Derby fever, I quickly responded with Princess Arabella, Grace Hall, and On Fire Baby. While the first two have their respective coasts covered, it is the fi...Read More
