Kentucky Oaks 2022

Easy Rider has a thread to discuss the Derby. I think this race is very interesting this year and would enjoy you folks thoughts on the Oaks this year. Looking forward to seeing the draw and hope to find a winner to pair with a Derby runner in the Oaks/Derby Double.

Good deal Pigpen. Not betting the Oaks, but interested to see what SBR Nation thinks about the race. good luck.

They are calling them the big 4 in this race (Echo Zulu, Kathleen O, Nest, and Secret Oath). I am going to toss Secret Oath thinking she may have hit her top in the Honeybee. The Arkansas Derby came up light IMO and she had every chance to win, maybe her 2022 campaign has caught up to her. Will wait for the PPs to come out and get serious with the others. Looking forward to this event this year along with the run for the roses.

#9 desert dawn (20-1)

like the steady progress of her figures..went backwards along the way in the juvenile fillies @ 42-1 and off a 4 month layoff..put up the fastest figure of any entrants in her last race (brisnets) and averaging her 1st 2 calls was relatively close to a fast pace..socal trainer excellent value based on roi..can't see 20-1 on her

unfortunately looks like there's a good chance the track will be sloppy on oaks day and potentially on derby day but that's more uncertain. being a horse who's only run in california ; mine has never raced on an off track and is not particularly well bred to do so
..strictly an action bet on an off track for me..half of what you would normally bet factoring the odds

going to be an off track tomorrow so this is a no play for me (as I said in previous post) may look for another

#1 secret oath (6-1)

sandwiched a bit after the start and very wide on the turn in the arkansas derby..not a horrible effort although was a very weak edition by winner's figure..with the jockey upgrade to saez i think he'll be more aggressive trying to get her into position .. could see reverting back to the form 2-4 races back .. bred to like the off track and run far
according to the brisnet ratings..
thr rating on the latter is extremely high and possibly explains why she opened up in the stretch in all 3 of her races prior to the last one

How ya gonna beat Nest? Trifecta 4 over the 1/2/7/10. Six whole dollars for the 50 cent play. Bol
