11 TP Bourbonette Oaks [KYO]
$300.000 3yo F 1 1/16m Dirt 122lbs
Oh, we have an interesting group of sophomore fillies set to go a mile and a sixteenth in the Bourbonette Oaks, here in NoKy. I never understood have you could name a track without a turf course Turfway… but I digress… I thought about a Ouija board, I thought about going to Ali, a dart board wasn’t out of the question… but in the end, we will just attack. I’ll take Reaper Lightning as the top selection… the barn has been hot, she ran her eyeballs out over this track to take the Alexandra (GII) in gate-to-wire fashion, and I see no reason to jump off of her bandwagon now. Statuette was making a good living vs. NY-bred types, and was third in the Suncoast, her most recent trip to the gate, and she closed fast in the end of that one… the barn will use that to have her in good shape for today, and she must be used on all tickets… The Green Card disagrees, but that’s why we are here.
