On 7/20 @ Saratoga I called for Ullapool to upset Book Review in what I thought would be a two-horse race, which it was. Ullapool had a false-start at the gate, then led all but the final furlong to place, Book Review getting the win. On Saturday, 8/25, the 10th race @ 4:38pm, these two meet again. Should be a gr8 race, and once again, I'm backing Ullapool.

With you hilljac, Ullapool

Both Ullapool and Book Review are stepping up from an allowance into a Grade 1.They are a fit on figures but we'll see if they can handle the huge class jump.The 2 horse race they were involved in last time didn't have graded stakes regulars like Contested,Amie's Dini,Yara,Aubby K, and stakes horses Well Kept,Beautiful But Blue.Looks like a really tough race to get a strong opinion on anyone unless Contested runs back to her Eight Belles race then it may be game over.

Ullapool listed as 15/1 early line on Equibase. Definitely a big step in class. If she can contain herself this time around, it will be a pleasure to watch her run. She could surprise.....and I'm just a fan

Ulla Pool is in her stall drooling on herself right now:lmao, will ride with you again though hilljac

Well, all I know is if this race was @ Alamitos or Ruidoso, I'm in the money

...Baffert admitted he was sorta crapping himself at Ullapool's pace, tho. Poor Ullapool, and poor me

Contested started a little slowly, but she finished pretty fast to win Saturday's Grade 1, $500,000 Test Stakes by two lengths at Saratoga.
