I made a boo-boo, I had thought that the DE Oaks card was drawn today, but it's tomarrow. So here is a bonus race for the previews. This will be Saturday at Colonial Downs, at a mile and a quarter on the turf for three year olds it's the Virgina Derby! Among it's winners, G1 winners Kitten's Joy, English Channel, Red Giant and last year's winner Gio Ponti.
Here is the field:
1) Affirmatif (Chris DeCarlo, 117)
2) Florentino (Alan Garcia, 121)
3) Take the Points (Edgar Prado, 117)
4) Nicanor (Jose Lezcano, 117)
5) Safety Valve (E. Camacho, 117)
6) Straight Story (Chuck Lopez, 117)
7) Hold Me Back (Kent Desormeaux, 117)
8) El Crespo (Julien Leparoux, 121)
9) Battle of Hastings (Tyler Baze, 121)
10) Lime Rickey (Cornelio Velasquez, 117)
Battle of Hastings on paper should take this, however keep an eye on Nicanor. If he wins the race, he has an outside chance for 3yo male. I would love to see Take the Points win, but I think the distance may not be the best for him. I'm going to go with Nicanor, but I think Battle of Hastings has too much experience.
But then again, that's why you run the race.

Royal Ascot, Rachel returns and a sad day
More history was made today at Royal Ascot as Wesley Ward's Jealious Again won in a Group 2. Ward has a few more horses going each day of the rest of the meet leading up to Saturday's King's Stand when Cannonball goes against Takeover Target. Megahertz's little sister Heaven Sent was second in her race today at RA.
Speaking of RA, in this case I mean Rachel Alexandra. Her next start will be the Mother Goose S. at Belmont next Saturday. As of right now only Flashing and Malibu Prayer are expected to take her own. Honestly even though she is coming off a tough race, trainers are going to be scared off by possibly the filly to run in sometime (And this comes after Azeri, Ashado and Rags to Riches, and at the same time as Zenyatta).

Nicanor won his second race today at Delaware. It was on a course labbled as firm, but it was bogged down.
Meanwhile it was a sad day, in the horse racing world. First off, Proud Accolade, the first horse to defeat Afleet Alex was euthanized due to nurological problems. This comes weeks after he had his first winning foal. Also passing away is 2009 Poker H. winner Sailor's Cap, who collapsed suddenly in his stall.
