Two fillies in here have impressed me visually with their professionalism and willingness to take dirt/maneuver out of tight spaces. Bully Bones was stopped a few times in her debut and still won at a big mutuel. Of since April comes into the G3 today. Hystericalady is 2 for 2 and her wins were also very professional. Once sweeping a 3w move to power away easily, once with a rail rally where she was stopped and powered home late to capture her stakes debut. Hollendorfer can't buy a winnner, but I've read PVal's been up every morning and is praising her virtues. Hollendorfer's cold training should let her 4-1 m/l hold up. Gotta pick one.

Hystericalady to win.

I respect both of your choices, but I'm going with Diplomat Lady.

She beat Tiger On The Loose in her debut & hasn't raced since. That 52 days makes me think (since nothing has been reported wrong w/her physically) that they were pointing to this race, but left the door open to get another race in her if need be. I really like her works. The fact that she can rate is also a positive.

So Diplomat Lady it is. (For contest players, most of my $ will be to place).
