Enola Gray = 101 Beyer romp Fleet Treat on Fri DMR, 7f in 121.24. Phil D'Amato trains, Tyler Baze up, 3-for-3 and ready for graded stakes.

Woo-hoo! She's got SO much talent. If I'd had my druthers,  my dream Cotillion would have both Songbird and Enola Gray in the gate.

It's Songbird's race to lose. Carina Mia is a nice filly, but no match for the champ:

Look out for Sweet Loretta (Tapit). She could be this year's Songbird as far as BC aspirations. Broke her maiden in the 9th just now at Monmouth.

She took the Schuylerville today!

I am probably repeating myself but I sure do want to see a Songbird vs Enola Grey matchup.

Well....Chrome should romp - HOPE HE DOES

I think he should too. Perhaps we should take wagers on by how many lengths? I say 6 1/2.

I'm glad they were able to save him. He may even be able to recuperate without surgery, or at least that was the first word from his trainer.

An incredibly sad endnote to The Chilli Man story.

So I read just now on Facebook. How awful.

Karula, a first time starter by Colonel John out of a Woodman mare, obliterated a hapless field of 2 year old fillies in the Angie C. Stakes at Emerald Downs. She was 31-1!

I wonder what kind of offers they'll be entertaining after this performance. Winning margin was around 15 lengths.

Karula got a 79. Owners must be entertaining offers at this point.

Gemologist finally got his first winner today at Del Mar. His filly Morganite looked impressive.

This will be smother year where the best 2 year old fillies come from the west coast,  the other one being the aforementioned Theonewewaitedfor.

Morganite earned a 74 BSF off this effort. The Sorrento and/or Debutante next.

Chasing Aces earned 101 Beyer track-record MSW win Sun DMR.

Wow! That was one VERY impressive maiden race.

Weights for those that might attend...

CALIFORNIA CHROME 126 Art Sherman
DORTMUND 121 Bob Baffert
HOPPERTUNITY 119 Bob Baffert
NYQUIST 119 Doug O'Neill
HARD ACES 118 John Sadler
IMPERATIVE 117 Richard Baltas
VYJACK 117 Philip D' Amato
FOLLOW ME CREV 116 Vladimir Cerin
WIN THE SPACE 116 George Papaprodromou
SOI PHET 115 Leonard Powell
CRITTENDEN 114 E. G. Harty
DALMORE 113 J. Keith Desormeaux
ARROGATE 111 Bob Baffert

Well can take Nyquist off the list of course.

At Dmr, Chasing Aces, by Flatter out of Endless Sea by Mt Livermore, just broke the track record for 5f 56.21. Wow! The 2nd place finisher, Straight Fire, a Dominus colt, is a Jungle Racing baby, he looked pretty good in his first start. This will be a key race.

Given what happened to The Chilli Man the race before, they should take it.

I saw that he was pulled up, but know nothing more beyond that.

Karula, a first time starter by Colonel John out of a Woodman mare, obliterated a hapless field of 2 year old fillies in the Angie C. Stakes at Emerald Downs. She was 31-1!

I'm shocked there is no topic on her!

Nevertheless, she worked this morning @ Dmr, 6F in 1:11 and change. Looks like she did it quite easily.

Next stop: Saratoga for the CCA Oaks, then the Alabama.
