Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Dmr 8, the Grade I eponymous Oaks there, and Sar 9, the Grade I Sword Dancer, are on the free page.

On the pay-side, it’s AP 8, 9, 10, and LaD 4, 9, 10.

Prohibitive in Sar 10, the Grade I Alabama (your preseason No. 1), for #4 Princess of Sylmar.

LaD 3 looks good for the obvious #9 Mischievous Mara. Likewise #4 Sittin At the Bar in the sixth.

Shooting for #8 Sky Treasure in WO 8.

Should be OK for #5 Big Foot Ben in Alb 8.

Going for a fave-longshot pairing in ArP 8: #6 Sorta Special, #3 Sweet Dixie Van.

Nonfavored box-type play in Cls 7: #1 From the Ashes (!), #6 Buffalo Creek Hawk.

A procession in store for #5 Lucy’s Bob Boy in CT 8.

Tiptoeing around the fave in EmD 9: #7 Nicolas Cajun, #4 Kenai King, #8 Mebossman.

Outside chances for #2 Al’s Deputy and #5 William Thomas in FL 8.

Then in NP 12, the Grade III Canadian Derby, trying for balance between #11 Broadway Empire and #1 Shooting Empire.

Yesterday’s Activity: Some big balloons via the debut yesterday. Review for your own edification.
