Grace Hall, winner of the March 31 Gulfstream Park Oaks (gr. II), will break from post 2 as the 5-2 morning line favorite for the May 4 Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) at Churchill Downs.

Hello all,
I just wanted to update(and of course bragg just a little), we are 5 days 17 hours and 14 min. until the start of the Kentucky Derby.

I just wanted to tell all my friends , half of me died today. I had to put my mare down today. So don't get upset if i don't talk , that's why. Here is my tribute to her, she was 34 yrs old.

I am a great champion
When I ran the ground shook
The sky opened
An mere mortals parted
The way to victory
An I met my owner in the winner's circle
Where she put a blanket of flowers on my back.
