Dawn After Dawn

So to all 11 of you reading this – including those seven loyal members of the family – here will be my stabs for tomorrow’s Oaks. We’ll put it on the record and there either will be no complaints – or, perhaps, many.

So we’ve got a baker’s dozen plus one in the 133rd Oaks, a most interesting race and the key, natch, to the Oaks – Derby double.

Listen, I have no idea who is going to win the Fair Grounds Oaks on Saturday.  But I can tell you this: Any jockey who lets Appealing Zophie get away with slow fractions again deserves to lose.
