  • 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/ · 50 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · It's going to be a fantastic race, and what a great field entered in a race that honors one of the greatest 3-year-old fillies of all time. I think Kathmanblu is the class of the field though Inglorious is pretty intriguing. · 470 days ago ·
