A tragic loss with the sudden retirement of Devine Proportions.
As usual, trying to figure out who might show up from overseas is the $64k question.
Rakti is a definite, but is a total knucklehead to handle during saddling and post parade. IF, he behaves, has a solid shot to win, but that's a big IF !!!
Filly Soviet Song, Godolphin's Dubawi [impressive GI Jaques le Marois winner] runners up Valixir, Whipper all can stick their nose in front, but who might come acallin'???
Euro sleeper: Oratorio, trained by O'Brien who did defeat Motivator ar 10 panels.
Local fun bunch:
Leroidesanimaux races Saturday at Toga, best US chance to win.
Artie Schiller is a very nice hoss, Mr. Light is a terrific closer.
Kittens Joy should be entered here, where they might have a chance to win. IMO, no shot in the BC Turf, just don't believe he's a bonafide 12f hoss.
Choice: same as last year, Rakti.
