I am already on record as having a “tentative liking” for Silent Sighs but Joe B. what you said about Last Song is very interesting, because things could a little hot up front early. And even if they don’t people will surely go after ME a little sooner than normal (3/8th pole) because they will not want to wait to late. All of this falling into place opens the door for that last ditch closer nailing ME after she has used up all her energy putting away the rest of them.

However. the interesting candidate I’m looking at is Victory USA. The reason I say interesting is that the rider switch resulted in Pat Day being aboard which may be tipping the connections hand with their tactics as “Patient Pat” is clearly the guy to wait and wait and wait some more. She lost some Grade I’s last year because of premature moves, maybe they try something different here. Don’t know what she beat last out and the Beyer was slow but she drew-off big-time.

Put Victory USA and Silent Sighs on the first half of my Oaks/Derby Double ticket.

Also let me comment on that their have been a ton of what I call HEADFAKE POSTS put up here in the last two weeks. Well this is no headfake, Smarty Jones will be nowhere to be found on ANY OF MY TICKETS Derby Day. I will not be playing Supers, the investment is more than I can handle by myself, unless I team up. I’m going on record now. Please hold the masses back as they rush to the windows to change their tickets.
