Lite Light and Meadow Star in the Mother Goose. Must see You Tube of the day! I won't give it away but I think they were 17 lengths in front of the field at the wire.

We finally will get the Blind Luck Devil May Care matchup we should have had in the Kentucky Oaks. Although Evening Jewell is no slouch in her new turf career.

Hollendorfer...probably one of the more undertated trainers in the country. Does anyone remember another Oaks winner Lite Light? How about Heetseeker, Hysterical Lady (a nose off Ginger Punch in the BC goo) and the unfortunate Tuscan Evening.

After her Oaks score a reporter asked if he was shipping Blind Luck to the Preakness. He quickly answered with an enfatic "No!" it's too soon. Now there is a man who knows his horses. Not someone out for media attention, glory, or to show everyone that he owns the best 3 year old filly in the county.

Beautiful piece Jennifer. Much like her dad, it seems that Blind Luck thrives when presented with obstacles. It is difficult not to appreciate a horse like that.

Absolutely wonderful story! Blind Luck an absolutely exceptional filly. She always takes my breath away each and every time she runs. Such heart, such beauty in motion! Another love affair has begun-I wish her and her connections all the best-she's such a gift!

GREAT STORY. Pollard's Vision was a true warrior. Watching him run with his eye patch I could not believe how he could win so many races. His offspring Blind Luck is also a warrior. Her come from behind style leaves you gasping for air everytime she runs. I love this great filly. Good Luck in your next race.

She looks like her Dad, runs like him, and has his extraordinary heart. What more can you ask for? Making her Daddy proud! Breeders Cup here she comes!!

Even though I usually support the Slews, I'll be cheering for Blind Luck over Devil May Care (Malibu Moon-A.P. Indy-Seattle Slew) in the Alabama. I love it when horses who are partially blind make it to the races & do well enough to prove everyone wrong, so of course, I was a Pollard's Vision fan. Now he is doing it again at stud. Blind Luck is one amazing filly. Best of luck to her at Saratoga.

What a grand filly she is. However, watching one of her races is not for the feint of heart <vbg>..

She sure makes stretch runs fun!

I liked her daddy a lot, he was always in my exotics...I fell madly in love with her in one of her losing efforts, I forget now what race, she was trapped on the rail with no where to go...fire in the eye always gets me ♥

Best of luck, Blind Luck. I just happen to see her maiden win while watching from Monmouth. I said "now theres a filly with talent." I didn't even realize she was in a claiming event, I only saw a star. Glad she is going to Saratoga to do her daddy proud!

Nice story - Pollard's Vision was one of my favorite racehorses, and Blind Luck has inherited his gutsy will to win, as well as his looks. She is a lucky find indeed!
