Two stakes races this weekend impressed me. The first one was yesterday's UN, when defending champ Presious Passion opened up by almost Secretariat numbers and set a course record in the process. And please tell me why Court Vision was in that race? A mile and a quarter is his max distance. The other one was today's American Oaks, where Gozzip Girl won very impressivly over a nice field. While she doesn't have a chance to win 3yo Champion Filly (That was sewn up in May), she could make some noise on the turf female divison in the upcoming years. Also winning G1's this weekend where Cat Moves and Zenzational (with Zenzational beating older males, he and Tom Fool winner Munnings could meet up in the King's Bishop which could detirmine the top sprinter in the country. Of course this is my hope. Cat Moves will face Justwhistledixie in the Test next).
The DelCap and Del Oaks nominations closed yesterday, I'm hoping that the lists will go up tomarrow. Also Musket Man is done for the year with a bone bruise :(.
Next weekend: Man O War (this was the race Curlin lost to Red Rocks in), Princess Rooney (the return of Indian Blessing after her destarious US seasonal debut) and the Smile (Benny the Bull continues his comeback).
In other news, I've started to recieve e-mails about my query for retirement stories. To read the orginal post, click here. I may start them in a few weeks, instead of waiting until November. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
