Since closing with a furious late rush to finish fourth in a 5 ½ furlong state-bred race at Penn National in her career debut, Princess of Sylmar has come a long way, baby. From modest beginnings, can a Kentucky Oaks champion come? I have reason to believe that the answer may be yes, and at most att...Read More

The report on the four Kentucky Oaks (GI) fillies out of the Todd Pletcher barn was all positive Saturday morning following their major impact on the rich 3-year-old filly classic. Read More
As the Kentucky Derby of 2009 approached, the trainer of my top ranked three-year-old made it clear that the horse’s owner had no interest in running his star in the Run for the Roses. I was disappointed that Hal Wiggins was so matter of fact in relaying the adamant wishes of Dolphus Morrison, but i...Read More

My final thoughts on the OAKS: I have landed on CLOSE HATCHES. The Bill Mott trained filly caught my eye on the first day and has not disappointed on any day since. There is something about her that screams quality. From her morning gallops to the dynamite solo half mile, she has done nothing wrong....Read More

Well I must say, this Is the most exciting race that's come across my view In a while. Im really pulling for Unlimited Budget & Close Hatches, I personally think they are both coming Into this race In top form. DOJ had a dominating performance last time out, I also think she's In for a great shot. The one thing that's really bugging me Is Princess of Sylmar morning line 20-1. I cant believe how high the morning line Is on her . . I know one thing, Im betting a'lot of exotics this race. I think Close Hatches at 6-1 Is about right, all though I do think she will win . . She only raced three times, that's where the other filly's have somewhat of a edge. But like I said Close Hatches & Unlimited Budget, both sitting on a dominating performance.
Reigning 2-year-old filly champion Beholder took another step down the road to further stardom when she galloped Tuesday at Churchill Downs in advance of her date Friday in the $1 million Kentucky Oaks (GI). Read More
  • tmallios1 · i was looking closely at the oaks.initialy i was looking at close hatches.but i kept coming back to midnight lucky.she is the only filly in the race that has not fired a big move yet.dreaming of julia.thorograph sheet wise,ran the fastest race ever recorded ,colts or fillies.she has made 2 monster moves in a row.if she repeats her last,she is a lock.i just can't see her really recovering from such an effort.unlimited budget made a big move forward in her last.lucky on the other hand has kept the course.i think she has the best shot of exploding on friday · 49 days ago ·
