More Than Real and Kathmanblu are possibles for the Coronation Stakes in England in June. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do over there.

If you saw dancinginherdreams in Florida, she loooks like a pony..probably at least 200 lbs less than most horses she's up against...I have no clue what Ward does...his only client has finally given most of his horses to other trainers...I'd love to see this filly in someone else's hands...I think she could be really special

Someone asked about Winter Memories. I think she is racing this week at Keeneland against Ruthenia in the 100k Appalachian. New Normal, Dos Lunas and Harlan's Ruby are also entered.

Oaks looks like a great race. Joyful Victory, Summer Soiree, R Heat, Zazu, Plum Pretty, Kathmanblu, the list of possibles is outstanding. Larry thinks Joyful can be as good as Eight Belles, and he is a trainer that does not boast much. I am still sticking with Kathmanblu for personal reasons.

Isn't she just beautiful! What a beauty from Tapit! Every now and then you get beautiful racehorses like Rachel Alexandra and Dancinginherdreams. It makes you go Hmmmm. when you are at the rail watching them.

Kathmanblu ran the entire Ashland on the outside loosing ground every step and still finished third. A better trip might have made a big difference, but perhaps this might have made the Ashland a better prep for the daughter of Bluegrass Cat.

Words/verbosity-talk is cheap, and no substitute at all for proper training. Dancinginherdreams may be most talented of all, but needs to find a new trainer-quickly.

The Oaks has more talent than the Derby!!!!

Plum Pretty has only ran four races and look what she has done, and who she has run against. She is starting to bloom.

Anyone who knows how to watch a race and is familiar with track bias,has to admit that when dancinginherdreams ran at gulfstream, she basically had no chance with her running style and the speed bias that day.Not one horse was capable of closing on a scraped-speed favoring surface that so eliminated all horses that come rom out of it.Had it been my horse,I would have scratched.I believe the real John Ward horse will show up tomm.,and will need to,because Kathmanblu is one helluva filly.I'd love to be in julian's shoe's and have the option to choose between which one I should ride.Let's see if he choose's the right one!

The girls look way better than the boys this year.

Zazu and DancinginherDreams are my favorites but watch out for Plum Pretty.

John T: I'm with you about liking Joyful Victory but I'm also hoping that Wyomia does well in the Ashland -- and Delightful Mary. Both nice fillies when at Woodbine.

BTW: Anything happening with Winter Memories?

re: Dancinginherdreams Still Dreaming of the Oaks

John T — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 03:28:17 GMT

Living in Canada I would love to see Joyful Victory win the Oaks.She looked impressive winning

the Honeybee and her trainer Larry

Jones is vey good with fillies.It would be a nice victory also for her sire Tapit if it were to happen.

Draynay-

Once again you have no idea what your talking about. Arienza lol are you serious!! I would expect by the time Oaks is upon us and you see Pletcher's horse will be the blink and you will act as if she has to win the Oaks. Joyful Victory is a monster just waiting to explode. Also if anyone thinks Gulfstream was a track that Ward's filly wuld like then you know nothing about track bias. Gulfstream is a speed demons track simple as that and Ward's filly loves CD and will run a peek effort in the race. If she's good enough is the only question. I have to admit I do not know much about the West Coast fillies this year. Good luck at the wondows eeryone...

I think she will bounce back and win the Oaks.

I think this year's fillies are coming up nice. With RHL, Joyful Vict., Kathmanblu, Arienza, Summer Soiree, Dancinginherdreams and Zazu we all have alot to choose from. I really like Joyful Victory, hope she runs well this weekend!

re: Dancinginherdreams Still Dreaming of the Oaks

Plum Pretty — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:29:04 GMT

Watch out for Plum pretty she is starting to come into her own.

It was reported that Dancinginherdreams wasn't 'moving' very well at Gulfstream. That concerns me.

I hope she rebounds as Mr Ward expects her too.

Wow! All these great fillies in one race...The Oaks is going to be fantastic!!!

I wish the connections the very best.

The Ashland appears to be the best race to watch this weekend with the amount of talent that has shown up. I too have not given up on Dancinginherdreams.

I made a lot of money betting on this guy 15 years ago with Gal In A Ruckus and Pyramid Peak but how does he get stalls anymore? He NEVER runs.

I was at Gulfstream last week and R Heat Lightning was awesome. Speaking of awesome, Awesome Maria was spectacular in the race before the Oaks. Both ran the nine furlongs faster than Dialed In could in a winning effort the next day in the Florida Derby.

Dancinginherdreams must be on to win the Kentucky Oaks.

Brian Appleton — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 01:03:47 GMT

It would be great to see Dancinginherdreams bounce back with a huge effort in the Ashland. She looked great winning at Kenneland in her debut so maybe she'll be able to get back the 'spark'. Kathmanblu will be hard to beat, especially after that fantastic work she just had on Saturday.

SnakeEyes — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 00:23:12 GMT

Interesting to note Julien Leparoux is the regular rider of both Kathmanblu and Dancinginherdreams. Personally, I think Dancinginherdreams has more upside, and in her last race why was she so close to the pace? It had to have compromised her late kick.
