King Que Niagra Reigns Supreme In Man O War
King Que Niagra, when he decides to show up, can be a very good racehorse. His problem is that you just never know what kind of race that you are going to get out of him, because when it is not his day, it’s a long day. He seemed like he might have been due for one of his big races here, but it is hard to have confidence in a horse like this.

Here’s the Field for the 2022 KY Oaks
It was an interesting year for three year old fillies, that is for certain. This is the race we all hope for when we see that our produced foal was female, but the road to get here is quite difficult. In reality, the KYO is more difficult to get into than the KYD, given the fact the starting gate is not expanded to twenty runners. Here we are, fourteen fillies have reached their destination of making the KYO, congratulations to all of them, because if you get here, you are definitely a champion.
