New surface?

I\'m sure it played a role, but it\'s not like she didn\'t have a win over GP\'s main track.

Emollient ran fantastic today and I believe she is just amazingly talented whether its dirt or poly.  Crushed apparently inferior competition.  I still have her 8-9 lengths slower than Julia\'s performance last week.  Reminded me of how Royal Delta\'s style has changed from off the pace to front runner.  And oh yeah, Mike Smith at the controls for all you haters in a big money race. Close Hatches with a front running score also in the Gazelle.  Almost Mott\'s new style....  

Oaks is going to be an exciting field and betting race if all of Pletcher, Baffert, Mott horses, and Beholder run especially if you are against Julia that day.

She ran brilliant today.  But the way she ran today had as much to do with validating dreaming of Julia\'s figure last weekend as the figure that I ran walking to my car did.  

She ran a half mile last week and packed it in.  No idea why.  That race can\'t be tied to anything to validate anything.

Not that the Julia figure needs validating. If TGJB got it wrong and it really is a negative 4 the read on Julia stays the same. She pairs she wins. She could bounce to the moon.   Tough call

My source at the Big A jockey club has you on the way to the parking lot doing a 47-, with bi/bo notation.

I get your point, but my only point is that quality horses, even on off days, only run so bad.
