Joyful Tidings: The Novel Nine

It was Premier Pegasus and Uncle Mo who stole the show over the weekend with their powerful Kentucky Derby prep wins, but one other sophomore runner turned in a performance just as impressive on Saturday.

zatt · I guess when Larry Jones says his filly is training fantastically, we better pay attention. Huge performance ... she went from just outside my top 10 into my my top 5 like a rocket, although not quite as high as you have her ;-) · 442 days ago ·

KyOaksRunner · Indeed, he must have known she was sitting on a huge race. I wasn't sure I wanted to put her so high at first but Oaklawn has been the launching pad for some of the best Kentucky Oaks contenders out there for years. Joyful Victory really impressed me with how sharp she was after four months away, I can't wait to see what she does in her next start with this prep under her belt. What did you think of Wyomia? · 442 days ago ·

zatt · She was solid, good late energy, but I do not think she belongs in the Novel Nine. The Ashland will probably be next for her. · 442 days ago ·

BigAConfidential · Brian, you're doing a great job chronicling the run-up to the Oaks. Keep up the great work (and great to hear you'll be in for the Wood. looking forward to meeting you). I cannot believe Joyful Victory's Beyer came back so low. It sure seemed like Beyer and co. would give her more respect off of that romp. Clearly, she's a player in the Fantasy and the Oaks. No quibble at all with you ranking her second. Personally, I can't wait for the Bonnie Miss. Expecting It's Tricky to run R Heat Lightning into the ground. Wide-open division, for the moment. · 442 days ago ·

KyOaksRunner · Thanks Joe, I'll be looking forward to it as well! I was very surprised at th low Beyer as well, she deserved much higher marks in my opinion. I'm right with you on It's Tricky, I think she'll be more than a match for R Heat Lightning. · 442 days ago ·

acarl · Great reading Brian. I would have the top 6 in exactly the same order. I am definitely looking forward to Kathmanblu and Inglorious II in the Louisiana Oaks. Joyful Victory was really impressive, particularly because the pace was pretty hot and she was sitting relatively close to it. Larry Jones is a great trainer. · 442 days ago ·

KyOaksRunner · Thanks Andrew! So am I, they should both be much sharper than they were in the Rachel Alexandra. I'm especially curious to see what Inglorious does. · 442 days ago ·
