Supreme confidence by the Jedi Knight James MacDonald. I think her only flaw isn't a lack of gate speed it's rarely racing on the front end and lacking experience. Hopefully in these next two races they go fast enough early because she will be going fastest late. Good luck to all who have shares!!!

Twenty-one horses entered the companion filly event, the Hambletonian Oaks, resulting in three $50,175 eliminations Saturday at The Meadowlands. The top three finishers from each elim plus the fourth-place finisher with the highest lifetime earnings will advance to the $500,000 Grade 1 Hambletonian Oaks final, also on Aug. 8.

Elimination winners will draw for post positions 1 through 6 in the final. All other finalists will be placed in an open draw for the remaining post positions. The draws for the finals of both the Hambletonian and Hambletonian Oaks will be conducted on Aug. 4 during a luncheon from 2-5 p.m. at The Chateau Grande in East Brunswick, N.J.

Very nice segment.  Good luck to Jailbird Jog and James.  If they pull off the ultimate feat over the next two races, then I hope it gives Amy that extra confidence to become a greater outreach presence for TheStable.

 

 Here are a couple of links to some others that caught my eye.  The first one features Nick Clegg.  Interesting to say the least.  At times I find him engaging but he manages to be enraging (to me) in the next breath.

The next one is by the Diamond Creek leadership discussing the Ronnie Gillespie situation this summer.

This is an awesome video!  Amy is great!  Thank you for sharing!

Amy must have been having a heart attack for most of the race.  Thankfully, she will qualify for the final because she's the highest money earner of all the entrants in the eliminations.  She will have to do better for sure.

I stand corrected.  She does not have the most of any entrant.  I see Nezuko Kamado S has more.  But that's only a consideration if that horse finishes fourth too.

She hasn’t made the final unfortunately.
