Saturday's Fair Grounds Oaks did quite a bit towards clearing up the Kentucky Oaks picture.

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.

Hey, if Appealing Zophie can get away with a :49 opening half mile in the Kentucky Oaks, I guess now we know she can win it.

I apologize for the cheesy title.  But I couldn't resist.  I promise that's the last time I will take the liberty of incorporating the names of horses into my title. 

On to the race.
