I can't believe it's here! Next Saturday and Sunday are the two biggest days of the Delaware meet. Starting on Saturday in the Delaware Oaks and then on Sunday in the Delaware Handicap. Unfortanlly it looks like that Rachel Alexandra will not be among those going in the DelCap. While I'm not suprised, I'm disapointed at the same time.
With that being said, depending who goes (other then Rach), this should be a walk in the park for Unbridled Belle. She is just too good on the Delaware surface. The Oaks looks like the better race of the two, Bon Jovi Girl should be the favorite, unless Hightap comes and possibly Malibu Prayer.
The Barbaro, I have absolutly no idea. This Haskell prep hasn't had the best of luck lately, so who knows who will show up. Plus with the VA Derby the day before this year, I'm not sure.
Speaking of BJG, her brother Gio Ponti picked up his 3rd G1 in a row yesterday in the Man O' War. Also congrats to Game Face who won the Princess Rooney and Rail Trip who won what could be the final Hollywood Gold Cup at Hollywood.
The next few days I will be previewing each stakes race to be run next Sat. and Sun. cultimating in the Delaware Oaks preview on Friday and the Delaware Handicap on Saturday. (Since there are six stakes races, three each day)
