fbwinners is the one to ask. I'm going to say it is prolly just a rumor. I believe that they already established that post position draw wed. would be their deciding factor in running in the oaks or derby. |

It has been determinded that she will enter the derby, but if she gets a bad post, then she will scratch for the oaks instead..... So you will have to wait till late wensday morning to know in which race she will run

Only ego would let a filly run against colts...no matter how good they are....look what happen to Pletcher's horse after the Belmont last year...retired I believe.. I hope for the sake of the horse and racing she runs in the Oaks.... |

Trot you nailed it thats all it is. EGO! He came close last year with Hard Spun and he wants that derby runner. To bad cause I hate when trainers do this. Reminds me alot of Pletcher when he runs 5+ horses in the derby and not a 1 of them makes the board.

I'm not sure all this males v. females isn't just crap. In Australia, they are a bit more enlightened and there is FAR less distinctions between the sexes. If the argument is, since she didn't run in mixed company before, shouldn't now. Maybe there is some merit, although, Big Brown was pulling away, AND Eight Bells was ALSO pulling away, but at a lesser rate. Regards, |

I have had great male and female Horses, She could run or She would not have been there.I'm just sick because they put Her down right there on the track with two front broken legs,And i know it happens but its still tragic! And perhaps she was not ready for that strong a race, Oh well its done! I'm just shell-shocked
