BC Pre-entries

Discreet Cat's technically pre-entered but only just in case something happens to Bernardini.

Saw the final entries and was surprised that Point Ashley wasn't going to run in juvenile fillies.

Does one assume that one of the horses in the Classic won't show up and Flower Alley WILL run? I was surprised that he didn't make the field.

Point Ashley

Postby CeeDreams » Wed Oct 25, 2006 3:43 pm

Regarding Point Ashley, I read an article that said the trainer didn't think she was ready and that she was recovering from an illness. My friend is her exercise rider. He was also the exercise rider for her daddy, Point Given. Look at the post dated 9/23 under Racing - Cool Pic of Point Given. That is the exercise rider that rides Point Ashely.

It's pretty much assumed that either Bernardini or Discreet Cat will be entered and the other withdrawn by next week. Someone could come up sick but I got the impression they'd take one of the Darley horses out before the final deal rather than keep him in and then scratch after it's too late to pull Flower Alley in. I expect Flower Alley to run.

I'm curious as to how many Pletcher will actually get in. Awesome Ashley's one of his right? She's something like 3 deep on the also-eligible. Lilly Carson's currently first on that one so she's got first dibs.

Were there any you were surprised to see not make the top group in each race? Poor Lewis Michael...it's like another version of that book. "They're just not that into you." Now Super Frolic's got a couple options but he's going Classic I think. Sad that Summerly hasn't had the numbers to get ranked. She was the only one left out on that group but she's off form.

Looks like Lilly Carson drew in with Untouched Talent's defection.
