What the Nation is saying about the Iowa Oaks...

The five-hour drive did not seem too long after arriving to a lively atmosphere at the combination racetrack and casino.

  • MichaelPavelick · Ruffian75, Thanks, I actually uncovered that before your poast. Kind of surprise. Possibly any Baffert horse that comes "rollin into Iowa", gets a lot of respect or Baffert has a steady history of having horses ready for the Iowa derby. One victory in a maiden claimer, and another in an allowance race doesn't deserve those kind of morning line odds. His very respectable move against Comma to the Top, is hard to deny. But that was as a 2 year old & he lost by approx. 9 lengths. · 227 days ago ·

BRASS HAT (Prized), whose dirt career peaked more than four years ago when he took the 2006 Donn H.
