This race is Untapable's to lose. But I like best the stories behind Fashion Plate, Rosalind and Got Lucky.

I think naming a filly for Marylou Whitney is a very classy, fitting thing to do.

My Miss Sophia is much the best of this group.

I love this kind of story. For instance, the truth behind Thank You Marylou makes me more interested in how she does. And knowing what Got Lucky's connections were really thinking is interesting. Good thing My Miss Sophia is a nice horse--seeing that she's named after someone, it would have been a shame if she couldn't run.

I was hoping that Rosalind was named for the heroine of my favorite children's book, "Born to Trot". On the other hand, that famous trotter was named for the Shakespeare character, so I guess it connects in the end!
