Well, the draw was made... but does the post position really matter in this caliber of horses?  Does Sidney's Candy really stand less of a chance leaving from 20 than Lookin At Lucky leaving from 1?  Or is the outside looking in a better position to be in than up against the rail getting jostled for position? I think it will all depend on how they break.  And with a 60% of rain, it could be anyone's race. 

Today, I'm focusing on the Oaks...I'm picking Amen Hallelujah... I know that Blind Luck is the best horse on paper... but in a fourteen horse field, its hard to justify betting a 6/5 morning line.  Blind Luck is a great horse, but she isn't unbeatable.  Off the top of my head, I know that she has been beaten by Crisp, Evening Jewel and Beautician.  That being said, looking at the horses, I'm keying 13 with 5/11/7.

Rachel Alexandra is running in La Troienne Stakes on April 30 (Race 6 on the Oaks card)... Drew post position 4.  Racing against Zardana.. definitely worth watching.

A few facts that are mixing in my mind...

• Sidney's Candy has never raced on the dirt
• Ice Box hasn't started in the last 6 weeks
• Pletcher is 0 for 24 in ten years of trying to create a Derby winner
• Devil May Care is the first filly entered in the KD since Eight Belles in 2008
• Pletcher trained Rags to Riches, the filly who won the Belmont on 2007... Valazquez was aboard that day. 
• Jackson Bend finished second to Eskendereya in the Wood Memorial, beating Awesome Act
• Super Saver and Conveyance are both super fast, but have never had to pass a horse in their lifetime. 

Good luck this weekend!
