The forgotten Filly.
She was 2nd a neck in the BC Juvy Filly off of only one career start(a maiden sprint).
When last seen she blew by the Oaks third choice like she was tied to a tree.
FWIW.......could be the worst morning line ever[15-1].
I think she wins on Friday.
Her last work (exercise rider was a statue) and race:

In this spot I prefer Swiss Skydiver to Gamine, but I have some doubt about both of them. Trying to make a case for Hopeful Growth isn't easy, but I have some faith she can improve off last, will take the added half furlong and might be able to capitalize somewhat if the pace gets crazy.

its funny how things work out.
So the whole reason why Brian Hernandez is riding Swiss Skydiver is that they thought Mike was too aggressive in the Blue Grass, so what happens, they draw the 1. I suppose a gun and then pull, hope Gamine clears and they you slip outside. But I think Gamine is handy and then Johnny will just set a slow pace and Swiss Skydiver either has to make a middle type move to push her or its a flat out ride, dont push, and hope the other horse folds due to the distance.
I may bet speech.

Not sure how this will affect the Oaks assignment but Hernandez tested positive for Covid-19 and is off his mounts today:

Article says he also tested positive for antibodies so not contagious but not sure when he’ll be cleared to ride.

That one goes into the what the hell pile. Killed my multiday gimmicks. Geroux sure had the hot hand on Oaks card. Cappers were on to the winner early as the odds were solid underlay all day.
