That's right everyone! The Live Chats are coming back. After a hiatus in the spring due to family comittments, they are offically coming back. When? July 8th which is in two weeks from tonight. The Chat will begin at 8pm and run till about 9:30ish. We will be covering all parts of racing from breeding to racing and much more!
The chats will then be held every other Thursday starting at 8 and ending around the same time. This will go until the end of August when Breeders' Cup chats will be every Weds. at 7:30 until the BC. Don't worry all this information will be posted at the begining of the chat on the 8th.
Hope to see you for the Chat!
Also this weekend, the winner of this year's Kentucky Oaks, the beaten favorite and 3rd place finisher are in action, as well as the FG Oaks winner. Zazu and Plum Pretty face each other in the Hollywood Oaks, Joyful Victory headlines the Mother Goose while Daisy Devine is in Iowa to try her hand at the Iowa Oaks. It's also the first leg of the CAN Triple Crown with the Queen's Plate. Check Your Soul is the favorite, but I'm going with Inglorious, as she can help even out the chance of the FG Oaks becoming a G1 if she wins (since Daisy didn't do well in the KY Oaks :().
It's also the first Graded Stakes of the year for 2yo's at Churchill (who is running tonight, dispite having a tornado on Weds). Should be a good weekend of racing!

Painting a Devil
Remember last week I said that the main focus for 3yo's for the next few weeks was turf? I lied. This week is a big weekend with the Mother Goose and the Iowa Derby. Of course the Mother Goose features Devil May Care and Biofuel, while the Iowa Derby is the first race back for Winslow Homer.

1 1 Down With Dixie Borel C H McGee Paul J 116 BL 6-1
2 2 Vow to Wager Albarado R J Romans Dale 122 BL 5-1
3 3 Thiskyhasnolimit Bridgmohan S X Asmussen Steven M 119 BL 4-1
4 4 Winslow Homer Dominguez R A Dutrow Anthony W 122 BL 2-1
5 5 Forestry Type Alvarado J Bennett Dale 116 BL 9-2
6 6 Concord Point Garcia M Baffert Bob 116 BL 5-2
I honestly think Winslow will need a race to get into form. However this isn't a strong group of horses, with the exception of Thiskyhasnolimit and Concord Point. I would not be suprised if Winslow wins and gets ready for the Jim Dandy in fine form, but I just have this feeling that Sky will win. He did beat Vow to Wager last time out, and is out of a half to Bernardini. A mile and sixtheen is probley his max, but with Winslow coming off some time off, he could be vernable here. Concord Point for third.

1 1 Biofuel Da Silva E R Baker Reade 121 L 5-1
2 2 Ailalea Prado E S Pletcher Todd A 121 L 3-1
3 3 Devil May Care Velazquez J R Pletcher Todd A 121 L 6-5
4 4 Connie and Michael Maragh R McPeek Kenneth G 121 L 7-2
5 5 Katy Now Desormeaux K J Pletcher Todd A 121 L 8-1
This is a big, big race. The return to the girls for Devil May Care, and the dirt debut of Biofuel. Keep an on Connie and Michael, she set the pace in last year's BC Juvi Fillies, in which Biofuel got absolutly mugged by Negliee. DMC should win this race, but with her known consistancy... I think Biofuel may need a race or two in order to get used to dirt which leaves me with Connie and Michael as my pick. DMC for second.
So that's it for this weekends previews! The HRBA's where announced Weds, and the Press Release will be up sometime tonight. Monday is the first Summer Series Live Chat, so that will double as the Weekend Recap.
